FLOWERS IN THE HOUSEHOLD
Simple Methods That Will Keep Them
Alive, Fragrant, and Pleasure
for Many Days.

To make flowers last a week or
more, four things are necessary. First,
do not try to arrange them the mo-
ment you get them, but put them in a
pail Of water for few hours. SO that
every stem will be under water up to
the flower. Second, cleanse the vase
thoroughly before putting in the flow
ers and change the water every day.
Third, the cooler you keep the flowers
the longer they will last. If you are
too busy in the morning to enjoy them
or have to go out for the afternoon, do
not leave them in the living-room, for
they are not used to such tempera-
ture. Every night put the vase in a
cool place, or better still, plunge the
stems up to the flowers In a pail of
water. Fourth, cut about a quarter OF
an incS off each stem in the morning.
1t is more trouble to do this under
water, but it pays. II you cut the
stems in the ordinary way air bubbles
get into the stems and impede the TAX
ing in of Observation-Disclosures.
