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 a pleasure once more to have them in bunch to arrange in the house. I thoroughly enjoy the job of doing the flowers,

Flowers give so much pleasure to so many people that I thought it would uo nice to work out none ways of cutting and arranging them right at the beginning of the season.

Gul flowers can be made to last much longer in water, nud wayn of doing this will appent to townspeople who have to get their flowers mainly from the shops.

Correct Cutting

Long-stenumed flowers are easler to armuge than the shorter kind, as if you have flowers from your own garden plek them as near the root or main stem as possible, and use a sharp knife BQ that you get a clean cut And, a tip to remember when Jund roses bloom. cut through the stalk at on angle when gathering flowers with woody stems.

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

Some flowers are inelined to bang their beads when they have been in

vase fur 0 few hours. It is possible to stiffen the stems If you lay them flat in n bowl of cold water overnight before prranging them in

vases.

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 Bures and allows the moisture to get to the stems.

Then there are those flowers which begin to droop almost as soon as you put them in water. Del- phiniums are specially bad in this | respect. But try putting a tea- spoonful of salt in the water; it does wonders 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 tho 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 each day. A few drops of Milton or an aspirin tablet in the water helps to revive 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
