How to Keep FrcahucNtt of the Vnrl oils KIihIh. "They are Just as fie h as they ear be. 1 cut them only five minutes bu fore I started." says the owner of a suburban garden to her city friend-, as she presents a bunch of limp and dejected flowers at the end of a short railway Journey. For the sake of the thirsty bios soms, as well as of the disappointed city woman, tho generous suburbanite fcliould bp told that the surest way to rob flowers of their fiedini'ss Is to k'cut them list five minutes before tartiHg," gays the Portland Oreucm- rosea una violcia, wjiicn neon u I'-bS than so ,o orb- rs- -shox Id bo gb-en tin il i ice ti dr.ik their fl 1 before s ting ivt uu a Journey.

When long brunches of flowering shrubs are cut, whether to be pack' i for transportation or for home adorn tticnt, It Is v. ell to assist the stem in absorbing water by Increasing Its ab sorbent surface, which may be dono by cutting the stem with a slanting cut, by slitting it an Inch or two up from the base, or by stripping off bit of the bark for a short distance from the end. Some flower stalks ab sorb a ainall quantity of water1 through their bark and should bf plunged deeply In tho water, almos up to the flowers. The poppy and some few other flow- ers whose juice is of tho same gummj character are found very dlQlcult to keep when once severed from tin plant, the usual experience being tlnv they droop within an hour. This it due to the fact that their sticky Juice oxuding from the cut surface, hardeui at once on exposure to the air ant closes all the minute pipes through which the stem drinks up the water Disappointments may be saved tun. the lovely bouquets of popples kept il good condition for twenty-four hourl or more by observing proper precau tlon In cutting and arranging. In the llrst place, do not keep them long out of water after cutting. Thk, is true to a greater or lcs3 extent o almost all flowers.
