Dried flowers are becoming
increasingly popular since they
last indefinitely and require
minimum care.
For best results, flowers and
leaved for winter arrangements
must be cut and dried when they
are at their hest, says Ontario
Ministry of Agriculture and Food
horticulturist, R.A.Fleming.
To dry green leaves. mix equal
quantities of pure glycerin with
water. Pound the cut ands of
leaves and branches to crush the

Water your
plants well
Unless you're an experienced
gardener. you may wonder at.
times • if you've been a ° little
overgenerous or perhaps stingy
with water for your houseplants.
Quie often, someone will
recommend that houseplants be
given a "good" watering. but the
question still remains, "How
much is really a 'good'
watering?".
"Start with the measurement
of the pot," says J. K. Hughes,
orticultural specialist with the
()Mario Minis
and Food. "Generally. one ounce
of water should be applied for
every, inch of pot diameter. A
6-inch pot would require about 6 .
ounces of water for a good
watering."
The horticulturist points out
that there are some exceptions to
this general rule. If the soil mix is
very porous and open (as many of ,
the n ew soilless mixes now are),
he Suggests that the plant be
watered again about one minute
after the first applicatiOn. if lyour
soilless Media becomes bone dry,
the only effective way to wet it is
by setting the pot in a saucer of
water for about 15 Minutes.
Size of the pot also makes if
difference. Mr: Hughes says th
small pots in The, 21/4 to 4-i h
range dry out inu'ph more re •diiy
than larger : ones from -.6 to 8
and • branches to absorb the
mixture through the-stems, Place
the crushed ends and mixture in a
narrow container. Then place in a
dry sunny area for about ten days.
Drying or preserving flowers is
a little more complex. Place "wild
or garden flowers on' a base of
powdered silica gel. Then with a
spoon, gradually cover the petal
formation with more silica
powder, being very careful not to
injure.the petalS. If the flowers
are picked at their peak, and
properly covered '-with the'
powder, they should remain
lovely throughout winter.,
