KEEPING CUT FLOWERS FRESH
Must Be Properly Taken Care Of, and
Here Are Some Suggestions
Of Moment.

The only drawback to cut flowers is
that they wither so quickly. and in
keeping them fresh some seem to have
more luck than others.
For instance. in the matter OF vio-
lets. 1t is possible to wear them sew
eral times without noticing the over
powering stale odor which proclaims
them beyond redemption.
OF course many people find that they
cannot wear cut flowers even for one
afternoon, because in some cases the
body heat seems to wilt them. but If
this can be avoided it is quite pos
sible to find bunch almost as fresh
the second day as on the first II they
were properly guarded overnight.
Keep the box that they came in and
when you take them off hold the stems
under running water for few min
nutes. taking care not to wet the vio-
lets themselves.
Then wrap them up in the oiled pa.
per and put them back in the covered
box outside the window II 1t is cool;
II not. in the refrigerator, but in either
case keep them wrapped
This treatment seems to restore the
flowers and hold in the delicious odor
which 80 soon becomes rank II they
are kept unwrapped in close room.
Some people think pinch of salt in
the water will keep cut flowers fresh
longer. and SO 1t does in some cases.
In others it seems to change the col.
ors little. With roses 1t is success.

A piece of gum camphor is said to be
an excellent preservative in the water,
and others advocate a small lump of

should be changed daily and the flow.
