A Little Bit OF Summer
All Winter Long -.

Arrangements of dried summer
flowers are an excellent way to
bring summer beauty into your
home for enjoyment all winter long,
according to Mr.. Robert Stevens,
extension horticulturist, Univers-
ity of Delaware.
COcRscomb, strawfiowers, per-
ennial baby's breather, zinnias,
marigolds and larkspur are some
of the many summer flowers that
are easily dried for year round
beauty.
For winter bouquets, start to cut
and dry these flowers now. Blooms
with considerable substance such
as strawflowers, cockscomb, globe
amaranth, bells of Ireland, perren-
ial baby's breath, and fountain
grass plumes are best dried by the
upside-down. drying method.
Cut flowers for drying when
they are partly open or when full
ly open but not mature. Remove
the foliage and group the stems
of the flowers into loose uncrowd-
ed bundles. Tie each bundle with
a string and suspend it upside
down in a dark, dry place. Under
these conditions the flowers will
be completely dry in a few weeks
with almost no loss of their ma
tural color. When dry, place the
flowers IL tightly closed boxes to
keep or, light and mice.
Larkspur, delphinium, shasta
daisies, marigolds, zinnas, black
eyed-susans, chrysanthemums, dah-
lias, and other more delicate flow
ers are best dried by the borax
method.
Cover the bottom of a suit box
or some other large carton with a
thin layer of mixture of one part
borax and three parts cornmeal.
