PRESERVING CUT FLOWERS.

Several good suggestions for preserv-
ing cut flowers are contributed to Good
Housekeeping. Heliotrope, which is so
hard to keep fresh, should have tie
leaves stripped from the stalks as soon
as it is cut. Greenery can be mlxedI
with the flowers afterwards. Poppies,l
very fragile blossoms, should have thei
ends of the stems scared with lighted
match or candle before being placed
in water.
