Preserving Flowers.

A florist of many years experience
gives the following receipt for pre-
serving bouquets: When you receive
a bouquet sprinkle it lightly with fresh
water; then put it into vessel con-
tanning some soapsods. which nourish
the roots and keep the flowers as bright
as new. Take the bouquet out of the
suds every morning, and lay it side
ways in fresh water, the stock enter
Ing first into the water; keep it there
minute or two, then take it out and
sprinkle the flowers lightly by tho
hand with pure water. Replace the
bouquet in the soapsuds, and the fow-
ers will bloom as fresh as when first
gathered. The soapsuds need to be
changed every third day. By observ-
ing these rules, bouquet can be kept
bright and beautiful for at least one
month, and will last still longer in a
very passable state, but the attention
to the fair and frail creatures, as
directed above, must be strictly OBJ
served.
