Evening Republican, Volume 18, Number 162, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 11 July 1914 — Flower Hint. [ARTICLE]

Flower Hint.

Sprays of flowers, with woody stems, such as roses, lilacs, etc., should have half an inch of the bark stripped off before -putting them in water. Sqppy stems, such as tulips, hyacinths,' etc., should have 1 their stems cut crosswise about half an inch. By such means the water reaches the stems more quickly and the flowe'rs will keep fresh longer.
