half and is just about fin

No Secret In
Keeping Flowers
Looking Fresh

"Hokus pokus" such as put
ting aspirin tablets or pennies
into flower vases won't do much
to prolong the life of your cut
flowers.
The secret of keeping flowers
looking fresh is to maintain as
much water in the stems as
possible, according to MIR. Rob-
ert F. Stevens, extension horti-
culturist at the University of
Delaware.
To keep flowers perky-look-
ing, Stevens recommends you
pick them in the early morning
or late evening when the stems
are full of water. AS soon as
you cut the flowers plunge the
stems into container of luke
warm water. Then place the
container in a cool spot for sew
eral hours before arranging the
flowers in a vase.
After arranging the flowers
and making sure that no foliage
is submerged in the water,
place the flowers in a spot
that's out of the way of drafts
and direct sunlight. This will
minimize the loss of water from
the flowers due to evaporation.
When the flowers begin to
wilt, Stevens suggests you re-
cut the stems and again plunge
them into lukewarm water to
revive them.
Flowers with woody stems
often have a hard time taking
up water. To help them out,
Stevens advises splitting the
