White securing sand IS the best, and
that which has no salt in it should be
selected. Place the flowers, stems
downward, in sandy layer, and pile up
tho sand about the stems, 80 that they
will stand erect; then sprinkle it over
lightly until cuch leaf and petal are
firmly held in place. 1t is very esson-
tial that the branch should not lap
over. Then place the pail or can Oh n
shelf in warm closet, and let it re-
maih for two weeks, then examine it,
ana ii the flowers arc not entirely dry,
take off the upper part of the sand and
add fresh, dry sand. The sand must be
entirely free from moisture when used
at inst. This is Il much better way to
preserve flowers for winter bouquets
than 10y pressing them, as it keeps the
leaves aud petais in shape, while it pre-
serves the colols perfectly and they will
keep Tor years.
