How to Preserve Cut Flowers.

Cut flowers should be taken from the
vases each morning and bit of the
stems out off, all decaying flowers and
leaves taken out and replaced in fresh
water. Soft water is better than hard I;
il the latter is used, a few drops Of am
monia may be added. The cooler the
flowers are kept the longer they will
last. In the winter, when flowers are
scarce, it is a good plan to take cut
flowers from the vases at night and
place them in washbowl, keeping the
flowers above water.
