TO KEEP FLOWERS FRESH.
Will Last Three or Four Weeks
Treated Properly.


"Cut flowers when properly treat
ed" said a florist, can be made to
look fresh for three or four weeks.
Every night take them out of the wa
ter and thoroughly rinse the stalks un-
der a faucet, removing with the fin-
gers any decomposed matter Then
put them to bed for the night in
basin of strong soap suds, but be
careful not to allow any water to
touch the blossoms. The soap suds
supply a certain amount Of nourish-
ment
In the morning rinse the stalks un-
der the water again and as each bios
som is arranged for the day in the
vase OF fresh water snip off tiny
portion Of the stalk with a pair of scis-
sors. Always carefully trim away any
faded part
Food for the day is supplied by
sulphate of ammonia. a few drops Of
which should be added to the water
put in the vase. At night put the
flowers into some dark, cool place
say pantry--as it is not good either
for the flowers or for the household
that they should remain all the time
in the living rooms.
TO revive cut flowers put them into
warm salt water to which has been
added a few drops of sulphate of am
monia. Cut flowers are constantly
sent by express and through the mails,
but seldom in such a fashion as to
preserve their bloom and freshness.
To effect this pack them in a light
wooden box lined with cotton or wad-
ding, laying over this a sheet of It's
sue paper Then lay the flowers not
on top Of each other but in rows, side
by side, the blossoms of each row on
the stems Of their neighbors.
Pack closely. otherwise the flow
ers will be displaced and injured IN
the journey. Before packing they
should stand in water for several
hours in order to absorb moisture
enough to keep them from withering.
It is not good TO sprinkle them too
heavily after they are in the box, for
without air this is likely to produce
mildew. st Louis Republic.

Such an hour, ere all that humanity
