A vote was then taken for permanent
chairman and secretary and William @.

tute an arrangement and reception

PRESERVING FLOWERS.
How to Send the Delicate Things Through
the Mails.

How TO send the Del1cate Things Through
the Mails.
Sending flowers through the mails is
\ pretty sentiment, and often a source
Of delight to the recipient, especially
when the flowers are of a new variety,
and sent from long distance by
traveller in token of the places seen and
visited. The object of this sketch is to
give few hints as to the best way to
pack them to insure the certainty of
keeping fresh and fragrant.
Let us suppose than pansies and lilies
Of the valley are to be arranged for
transportation through the mails. A
small pasteboard box must be procured
and lined with cotton-wadding moist
sued with water; over this make a bed
Of the leaves from the lilies, and upon
these leaves place the flowers. Much
taste may be displayed in the arrange
ment, and upon opening the box, the
effect will be quite the same as that of
bouquet.
Cover the stems of the flowers with
damp moss in such way that they will
be firmly imbedded, and thus kept fresh
for long time. Before putting the lid
upon the box, sprinkle the flowers and
place covering of leaves over them.
A friend who received a box of Ca
mellias from Georgia reported their ar
rival in perfect condition. Their stems
were laid in freshly-cut potato. Some
florists wrap oiled paper or tinfoil about
flowers when all has been, done to pre-
vent the escape of moisture. I have re-
ceived roses packed in their own leaves
in a perfect condition after several days
At Christmas time flowers are very
sweet remembrance for the friends to
whom we dare not send any thing of
more pecuniary value, and a would-be
| lover may express volumes in the selec-
ton of box of these dainty things for
! The lady to whom he has not yet made
an avowal of his affection.
| In winter flowers are more easily kept
| moist than in summer, which is the
| tnain point to be achieved in sending a
| Ion : distance.
An excellent authority gives the adj
&C to plunge the stems of wilted and
| trooping flowers into hot water OF
a.,out one-third their length, tax
in9 care that the blossoms are I'M
t"';ched. This process drives the sap
back into the flowers, and causes
ttl,:m to revive in a short time, unless
S:t.!roady hopelessly faded. Cut away
s!i"' withered portion of the stem be-
@H5" quitting into cold, sailed water or
~ t'>and, which is better for vases and
lies in which flowers are kept, be-
rau>c it will preserve them longer.
10 not gather flo wers while the sun
is shining upon them. but choose in.
Stead the early morning, or the hour
aiser the sun has gone down. Avoid
pulling or tearing from the plant; cut
with sharp scissors or knife, and in
case of varieties having a large stalk
or stem, rub a little dirt over the
wound. Always leave as long stem
| as possible, not to interfere with other
buds in "Reminiscences Miller.

there was just slight increase in

Florist SHOWS New Gardens.

w. S. Snow, the florist, has completed
his large lighthouses on the North Willow
street extension, and every detail is
carried out for the continuance OF his
large and successful business.
The main building which is 100x32, is
divided into three sections. The first is
devoted to roses, the second to carna-
tions and the last section to chrsanthe O.
NUNS. There is a potting house, a
greenhouse and two large frames 100
feet in length for forcing bulbs.
Attached to the main building is an
office and store room. The buildings
are in charge of H. E. Lewis, an exper-
fenced florist. The system of heating is
known as the Mahoney heating, and is
used exclusively by florists. The boiler
is located under the office, and by an in
genious arrangement of pipes an even
temperature is maintained in all parts of
the building.
Mr. Snow has stocked his new house
with the choicest of plants and the treat
that the visitor feasts his eyes upon is
indeed grand. 1t required nearly 10000
panes of glass for the main buildings.
Mr. Snow invites visitors to look over his
houses, they are always welcome. His
