. cut floras ; KEEP EASILY Novel Method Os Preserving Flowers Is Explained t The life of cuflowers la ail too short, but being short we value - them more, and if we can length--1 en their span of beauty, it gives us t much satisfaction. Fortunately, there are many things we can do to win this satisfaction. r We might well follow the example of the florist, whose bustr ness it is to keep flowers always , looking beautiful. There are many . precautions he observes, such as fresh water at short intervals, cutting of stems with a sharp knife, etc., but the most difficult one of 1 his preservatives to imitate at • home is the huge ice box tn which I 1 he can keep flowers cool. ■ Most of us have an ice box. and r it is often large enough to hold a large bouquet of roses or carnations, but because it is used for . other purposes, little room may be [ left for flowers. If flowers are to , be kept cool, some other method must be found. A good substitute for the ice box [ is a wrapping of moist newspapers. , Go about it in this manner. First, dip the flowers in cold water to . the blossoms. Then, wet a cloth j and wrap it around the ends of the I stems. Now wet several newspapers and wrap the flowers in them, leaving one end open, and taking care not to crush or dampen the fragile petals. ’ Newspapers have a water ab- ’ sorbing nature which allows them • to remain wet for several hours if kept out of tffi- sun, and by surrounding the flowers with this . moisture, they will be kept in a 1 l humid atmosphere, and the continuous evaporation of moisture will , cool the air and provide a makeshift ice box of sorts. This practice can also be worked with whole arrangements, and ' without disturbing them. Take the arrangement to the basement or the coolest place in the house. Set it on a table or floor where water j will not harm anything, and make ' ' a frame work of wet newspapers ’ around it, using a stick or box where necessary to support them. /It is surprising how much cooler the atmosphere will be inside this ' covering. s Another method of preserving ( cut flowers is to cut the stems uft-
