Drying FLOWERS IN SAND.-There are
many of our brilliant flowers, such as
dahias, paDsies, pinks, geraniums, sweet
williams, carnations, gladioi, which may
be preserved so us to retain their color for
years. White flowers will not answer as
well for this purpose; nor any succulent
plant, as hyacinths or cactus. Take deep
dishes, of sufficient depth to allow the flow
ers to be covered IN inch deep with sand:
get the common white sand, such as is
used for securing purposes, cover the bot
tom of the dish with layer half an inch
deep, and then lay in the flowers, with
the stems downward, holding them firmly
in place while you sprinkle more sand
over them, until all the places between the
petals are filled and the flowers are buried
ont Of signt. A broad dish will accommo.
date quite large number, and allow suf.
ticlenL sand between. Set the dish in n
dry, warm place, where they will dry
gradually, and ut the end of week pour
oil the sand and examine them; if there
Is any moisture in the sand it must be
dried before using again, or fresh sand

fore. Some flowers will require weeks to
dry, while others will become sufficiently
dry to put away in II week or ten DAYS.
by this simple process flowers, ferns, etc,
are preserved in their proper shane. as

far better way than to press them in books
When arranged in groups and mounted on
