when you receive a bouquet sprinkle

suds, which nourish the roots and keep
the flowers as bright as new. Take a
bouquet out Of the suds every morning
and lay IL sidewise in fresh water, the
stock entering first into the water
Keep II there a minute or two, then
take it out and sprinkle the flowers
lightly with pure water. Replace the
bouquet in the soapsuds, and the flow
ers will bloom as fresh as when first
gathered. The soapsuds need to be
changed every third day. BY observ-
Ing these rules a bouquet can be kept
bright and beautiful for at least
month and will last still longer In q
very passable state"
