winds and showers bring forth lowers? We've had our fair share of the showers, but no one will re- gret them now that all the gardens are coming into blossom.

And it's a pleasure once more to have them in a bunch to arrange in the house, 1 thoroughly enjoy. the job of doing the flowers.

Flowers give so mucts plenaurę to zo many people that I thought it would be ico to work out some ways of cutting and arranging them right at The beginning of the season,

Cut (lowers can be made to last much longer in water, and ways of doing this will appeal to townspeople who have to get their flowers mainly from the abops..

Correct Culling.

Long-stemmed flowers are ensle to arrange than the shorter kind, so I you have flowers from your own garden pick them as near the root or minia stem as ɛsibic, and use a sharp knife 50 that you get a clean cut. And, a tip 10 remember when June roses bloom. cut through the stalk at an angle when gathering flowers with woody stems.

I always choose blooms which are just opening in preference as full-blown oncs, 13, of course, they last so much better.

Some flowers are inclined to hang their heads when they have been in

few hours, a vase for

It s possible to stiffen the stems if you Jay them dot in a bowl of cold water overnight before arranging them in Voses.

Prevents Drooping

Flowers with woody stems, do not always absorb enough water to keep the flowers alive. They last much longer if you bruise the ends of the stems with a hammer. This breaks up the woody libres and allows the moisture to get to the stems.

Then there are those flowers which begin to droop alinost as soon as you put them in water, Del- phiniums are specially bad-in-this- respect. But try putting tea- spoonful of salt in the water; It does wonders in preventing the lower petals from falling. A tip for keep-. ing fragile blooms allve is to singe the ends of the stems as soon as they are picked.

Some people change the water in the vases every day, but I have found it better to leave flowers in the same water for a few days and to cut just a fraction off the ends of the stems cach day. A few drops of Million or an aspirin tablet in the water helps to reviva drooping flowers.

I keep a special shelf in a cupboard for a collection of bowls and vases for summer flowers. There are all sizes and shapes, and some are not actually

Wall vases have returned to favour. Thay are decorative filled with mixed flowers and trails of leaves.

Short Cuts

Never mix two wines in the same glass, or put ice in wine, or leave a wine bottle uncorked between meals.

bought for the purpose. Ginger Jars and odd soup or sauce tureens make good containers for large mixed bunches.

Flowers usually like glass, because it lets the light through to the stems, but pottery and china also make excellent and decorative containers.

Make sure that the bases of the jars are glazed either inside, or out, atlier- wize you may find water gradually soaking through and spolling polished table tops.

This brings me to the subject of where to put suminer dowers to show them off to the best advantage. It you have a garden you can make up some really large arrangements of mixed flowers.

In Dark Corners

One cannot always spare a table for n big bowl or jar, but it will look equally well standing on the floor,

You will find all sorts of odd corners which would be improved by some flowers. On the hearth. for example, to hide the empty grate, on the little Ianding at the turn of the stairs, in a corner of the sitting room.

A posy ring for the dining room table is lovely for short stemrued blooms like violas and panties, and just a few flowers and leaves take a nice show.

The posy rings are made in the clr- cular shapo and also in four separate sections which can be joined to make the circle or used separately.

Wall vases are a pretty decoration. useful when there is no space for vases on table or floor. You can get them In off-white pottery, in shell and dol. phin shapes, and they will take short- stemmed flowers and little traits of leaves. A pair of wall vases looks well above the fire-pince, and you can also use them for corners above writing-desk or bookcase.

Finally. I hope people who have gardens won't forget this summer that a box of flowers Is a lovely gift to people who have no gorden, There are so many flowers one can- not always buy in shops.

And Invalki friends always appre- ciate blossoms fresh from garden.

If carefully packed, the flowers should arrive quite fresh, even at the end of a long journey, I always pick them in bud for sending away, wrap the heads in tissue paper, and wind strips of wet rag or cotton wool round the stems.

Thon I line the box in which they are to be packed, first with a layer of dry, then with a sheet of wet news- paper, and put in the flowers with heads of alternate layers facing in opposite directions..

The great secret of successful pack- ing is to the box quite full so that the flowers cannot move about.
