a gentleman from Utica, in Louis
vile, who wished to send some beau
tiful flower buds to his wife. was at a
loss how to do so. A florist friend
said he would fix them. He cut po-
tatoe into two pieces and bored holes
in them, into which he inserted the
stems of the buds, and placed them in
a box with cotton to support them.
y letter from the recipient acknowl-
edged the remembrance, and said that
the buds had developed into fun
blown flowers. There is sufficient
moisture in a good-sized potatoe to
support flower for two weeks in Il
moderately cool temperature. Flow
ers from boquets or baskets may be
preserved in the same way. The po-
tatoeS may be hidden by leaves or
