Keeping cnt EIower.

How 10 keep flowers after they have
been cut is problem that often puzzles
people In the city as well as the country.
The florists usually have refTigerators in
which TO keep their flowers. But cool
Ice box is not often to be had at the very
time when 1t is most wanted. The first
essential in keeping cut flowers is to pre-
vent their moisture from eyaporating.
Even wild flowers. which are The most
delicate and shortest lived after they are
cut, can be kept for week or ten days If
evaporation from them can be entirely pre-
vented. The following is a very cheap
and simple method for preserving cut
flowers. Take a lamp chimney and put a
cork ia the top, then rub the cork all over
with beeswax aud melt it in ovT the stove.
This insures its being alright. II the
sides or edges Of the cork are waxed it will
make a tighter joint. If cork of suitable
size cannot be had, tie piece of muslin
neatly and dip it In saucer of melted
beeswax so as 10 make it tight And IL
beeswaS is not at hand, tallow will doyery
well. Even a coat of paint or a dip into
the paint pot would answer at pinch.
The idea is TO make the top of the chimney
as nearly air-tight as possible. Arrange
the flowers in cup or some vessel that
viii allow the bottom Of the chimney to
come down into the water. This makes a
pretty table ornament, and the flowers will
keep fresh for long time.

noman mxaeInths.

The Roman hyacinths can be had in
bloom at various times by little judicious
management. All they require is to plant
them as early as possible. Set them in
the ground. or in cool cellar, until the
pots are filled with roots; and in about six
weeks before they are required TO be in
flower, they can be brought to the light
and warmth of an ordinary living room,
where they will bloom beautifully. Three
bulbs in each pot make very fine display,
and they may be had in bloom as early as
Christmas and The newyear. BY bringing
in few pots every week you can readily
have a constant succession of these delicate
and lovely flowers. After the blooms are
fairly opened, they will last much longer
If kept quite cool. II they are given too
much heat in growing, the flowers win be
small and fade quickly Floral Annual.
