How and When to Cut Flowers,

| lne proper stage ut which to cut flowers
lor decoration is the most important part of
the subj ject of flower supply next to the
production. Never cut any flowers until
fully developed. Flowers which open when
| cut, as the gladiolus may be exceptions to
THIS rule, but trusscs Of pelargoniums and
boavardias should not be cut until fully
developed. Nor is this all Flowers are
allowed to remain on the plants as long as
they Will continue IN good condition. TO
gather bloom which would last for a week
or two, and pass over bloom which would
be useless in Il few days, Is disadvantageous
IN two ways. In tho first place, the young
bloom is sacrificed at a time when it is not
needed, and the older bloom is entirely
waste u. This system will in Il shcrt time
change sufficient quantity into scarcity.
Another matter can only be settled by cx-
perlcnce, and that ls cutting moro flowers
than are required at one time. 1t is also
qultc possible TO use very many more flow

ploying foliage freely, filling large glasses
with foliage, and then inserting the Jl0w-
crs. Water is always used, as being most
cleanly and Keeping the flowers in good
condition for longer period than any other
medium. The harmonizing and contrasting
OF colors is also question OF some imEor-
lance, but In this the varied tastes of en-
ployers have in great degree to be stud
led. White flowers and the few yellow
ones that may be used do wull with any
color; dark blue or purple flowers are not
suitable at this season; pink shades are
best with white OF yellow flowers. All
flowers, ferns and foliage should be cut
with the longest possible stems. l do not
