If we have a plentiful supply in the garden it is of course less of a problem than if it is necessary to purchase them from a florist. If we are getting our supply of flowers from the garden, the proper time to start keeping them fresh as long as possible is before we start cutting them. A sharp knife is the best to use; breaking the stems if they are tough, frequently loosens the plant in the ground. Scissors in most cases will crush the stems. If cutting large quantities of bloom, take a pail of cold water into the garden with you snd place the cut flowers into the water immediately. In the hot weather gather the flowers either early in the morning or late in the evening Poppies are very difficult to make last after cutting and a- bout the only satisfactory wsy we know of is to take a dish of boiling water into the garden and dip the stems for about a minute, then place in cold water. Shirley poppies, gathered in the bud, the night before are delight- ful breakfast time companions. They throw off their green wool- ly blsnketa and shake out their beautiful silken frocks'ight be- Jorg your oves, Orientnlnoppjcs should be picked just as the bud is opening, remove the green cov- ering from the flower and the bud will open snd last sometimes for two or three days. Peonies msy be kept for two or three weeks by picking the buds and placing them in a dark cool place. Bring them out into the light when the ones in the garden have gone their way, and you will have fresh flowers in many cases more lovely than those which remained on the plant. The sun oftimes fades the blooms outside, but those which SPRING is here; snd our New Samples complete. ORDER YOUR SUIT or SPRING TOP COAT NOW Dry Cleaning and Pressing. M.

Gladiolus should be picked aft- Er two or three of the lower flo- wer on the stems have opened. Each day trim off s little from the bottom of the stem, change the water snd pick off the wilted flowers. By doing this practical- ly every flower on the spike will open. If you would have your flowers stand erect snd fresh looking during exhibition at the flower show, the method used by pro- fessional growers may interest you. Plants from which bloom is to be exhibited are chosen a- bout s week or tcn days before the show date. They are well watered at that time but denied further moisture until the dsy of the show, consequently they are starved for water snd eagerly ab- sorb it when placed in the vase.
