JANET JAY says-

Enjoy Doing

the FLOWERS

1

-this is how I

make them last!

You remember the old saying that

winds and showers bring forth flowers?. 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 pleasure once more to have them in a bunch to arrange in the house. I thoroughly enjoy the job of doing the flowers,

Flowern give no ruch pleasure to so many people that I thought it would be nice to work out some ways of cutting and arranging them right at the beginning of the season,

Cul flowers can be made to last much longer in water, and ways of dolug this will appeal to townspeople who have to get their flowers mainly from the shops.

Correct Cutting

Long-stemmed flowers are ensler to Arrange than the shorter kind, zo ir you have flowers from your own garden pick them as near the root or main slem possible, and use a altarp knite

Bo that you get a clean cut. And, a tip

to remember when June roses bloom. cut through the stalk ni an angle when gathering flowers with woody stems.

1 always choose blooms which are just opening in preference to full-blown ones. na of course. they last so much better.

Some Bowers are inclined to hang their heads when they have been in a vase for few hours. It is possible to sliten the stents if you lay them dat in a bowl of cold water overnight before arranging them in

vases,

Prevents Drooping

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

Then there are those flowers which begin to droop almost as soon as you put them in water. Del- phiniums. pro specially bad. In this. respect. But try putting a tea- spoonful of sult in the water; it does wanders in preventing the lower petals from falling. A tip for keep- Ing fragile blooms alive 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 háve 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 each day, A few drops of Milton or an aspirin tablet in the water helps to revive drooping flowers.

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

Flowers usually like glass, because it Iets the light through to the steins, but pottery and chins also make excellent and decorative containers.

Make sure that the bases of the Jars nre glazed either inside or out, other- wise you may find water gradually soaking through and apolling polished table tops.

This brings me to the 'subject of where to put summer flowers to show them off to the best ndvantage, 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 a big bowl or jar, but it will look equally well atanding on the floor.

You will find all sorts of odd cornera which would be improved by, sorne Bowers,-On-the hearth,--for example.- to hide ile emply grate, on the little landing 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 stemined blooms like violas and pansies. and just a few flowers and leaves make a nice show.

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

Wall vanes 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 doi phin shapes, and they will take short- stemmed flowers and tile trails of leaves. A pair, of wall vases looks well above the fire-place, 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 garden. There are so many flowers one can- not always buy in shops.
