WHEN FLOWERS HAVE FADED.
Simple Method by Which They Can
Be Revived for a Time.

1t always seems SO distressing to
see beautiful cut flowers wither and
fade, and to revive flowers that are
not actually dead try this plan. Cut
a tiny piece from each stem and place
the stems in a large glass, or. even
better, jar of cold water; then sub
merge the jar in a bucket of cold wa
ter, allowing the entire bunch to be al.
most covered. Put all in a dark
place, cover with a newspaper to ex.
clude the air; let them remain thus
over night: in the morning they will
be as fresh as new, even to the glist-
ening dew drops"

manner, b" , far there has not been

1t might not be amiss to add that
wilted green vegetables, such as spin
ach, lettuce and celery. are to be
freshened by this same means, and
may be kept for days, changing the
water every morning, of course. How.
ever, we all know that the fresher all
vegetables, the better they are.
