DOCTORING BLOOMS.

Japanese Recipes. for Blossoms.

The use of medicines for flowers in Japan is a very old custom.

And so when a learned French- man announced recently that treatment with aspirin would revive wilting flowers, modern science took another step forward and found itself on the path trod- den by the wise men in Japan for ccaturies.

The Japanese have their pre- scriptions for chrysanthemums at this season and that; they have other recipes for the lotus, for cherry blossoms, for the iris, and for many flowers unknown to the West.

These formulas are secrets passed from master to pupil, a bit at a time.

On which Bower, and at what season, should one use pepper- mint saltpetre? honey? sake? and how? Should the substance be sprinkled on the petal or injected in the stem? Should the stalk be burned or mashed, broken er cut, and what shape the slicing or incision made, with what knife or pair of scissors?

t

In other days men spent years learning the answers, There are schools of arrangement without end, each with its traditions and ecipes: the student who has been with the master four years is told so much; another year, and for- Thus ther secrets are revealed. year by year till the disciple in tum becomes a master and the last withheld lore is given to him. Miss M. Tanaka' give some pre- scriptions in the New York Times.

*Hare is the formula for the chrysanthemum of late fall; each kind of chrysanthemum is treated in a different way," she says. "For these, you must dissolve saltpetre in hot water. Let it cool before you put the flowers in. Then you make the arrangement, and after that is all done put a peppermint in the vase.

"Every flower is given.
