CARE OF CUT FLOWERS.

Some women have what their friends
flowers live. Others seem to wither
the flowers they touch. so quickly do
they fade. This Wanted faculty is
really no more than intelligent care.
and any woman who wishes to exer-
else it may do SO. There are some
fundamental principles of the habits OF
flowers to keep in mind, and some of
their likes and dislikes. if you would
be one of the women with a faculty for
making cut flowers live
Florists sometimes cover the ends
of the stems Of cut flowers with little
wax as soon as they are cut. This
wax keeps in the sap and makes the
flowers live longer, and sometimes this
method may be applied by the woman
who buys freshly cut flowers.
A piece of charcoal dropped into a
vaseful of flowers does much to keep
the water from getting stagnant, and
when flowers are arranged carefully
and you do not disturb them, the char
coal for freshness is very good.
Always change the water on flowers,
When pOSSlpie, every Gay. use GEAR,
cold water, and use plenty Of it.
For roses. put half a teaspoonful of
salt in the water, and each morning
cut off the ends of the stems a little
about a quarter of an inch.
Remember always that faded foliage
of any sort gives faded air to flowers
Hence all dropping foliage should i'm
mediately be thrown away. If there are
faded leaves, clip them off with sharp
scissors If there is dropping bud or
flower head, clip it off and throw it
away Often a fresh appearance can
be given to whole vaseful of flowers
