WILL BRACE
UP CUT FLOWERS

Experiments have confirmed the
fact that cut flowers may be prevent.
ed from fading by giving them an as.
pirin tablet. The experiments we're
conducted with chrysanthcmums. The
treated blooms outlastcd the untreatrd
by three days. Flowers which were
badly wiited were given fresh water
and an aspirin tablet. They revived
IN two hours. looking as fresh as they
did when picked. The leaves. how
ever, remained wilted. The aspirin
acts as an antisrptic. interfering with
the enzyme which causes the clogging
of the stem at its cut surface.
