Din & PONT'S •••••••••••••,.., On the Care of Cul Flowers For maximum length of life, keep as much of the flower stem under water as above. If flower's show sign of wilting cut about 2 inches from stein and plunge into cold water almost to the 'bloom but do not wet the bloom. Leave in a cool place free from drafts for a few hours and you will be sur-• prised at the quick comeback. Keep the room where flowers are placed at a natitral temperature. Over or under heated rooms will shorten the life of your flowers. When flowers are received cut a small portion from the stem with a sharp knit' and at once plunge flowers into cold water. Some, such as poin. settias, dahlias, delphinium, etc., have a tendency to bleed. To prevent' this, sear the bottoms with a lighted match or candle to seal. .Roses--Immediately upon receiving roses, cut the end of the stems slant wise, place loosley in a vase or bowl filled with fresh cold water. Stems should be cut every day and water changed at least twice a day. At night cover with damp tissue paper and place in a cool spot,' Do not leave your flowers wrapped or in a box on the table while finishing your dusting. This is a most common error and 'causes many disappointments. Compliments of Lewis Flowers.

Dropping needles or leaves of Christmas trees, which strip the trees of. color and litter the floor, long have been a Yuletide bane. Therefore the discovery of a New York State College of Forestry that water glass spray will prevent the spruce leaves from falling comes as welcome news to family and housewife alike. Besides preserving the foliage, the waterglass spray adds to the decora- tive effect of the spruce by leaving a slight silver sheen to the green of the West on lead by' continuing with the two of diamonds, discarding dummy's five of spades on this trick.
