Thereis no. fountain of- -
youth for cut flowers, but
proper Handling can add
days to their Life indoors.
Theo . Blom, Ontario
Ministry of Agriculture and
Food extension • hor-

important key to long-lasting
cut flowers is to select only

droop at the , neck of the
stem," he says.
And here's another helpful
hint. When gathering flowers
sonic distaa.nce from the
house, take along a pail of
clean' water. Make a clean
cut with a good'sharp knife
and set thestens into the
water im mediately.
Once you have the flowers
in a vase, cut the bottom of

required or outdoors when soil

• Biennials and Perennials -
sow seed outdoors June - July.

The tis os of people in many

The attrarti e appearance Of

the need to create pleasant
surroundings.
Horticultural societies

of dollars each year tn en-

Using scissors tends to
squeeze the stem, making if
difficult for the flowers to
take up water," says Mr.
Bio m.
You can also help lengthen
the life -span of cut flowers
by' adding flower preser-
vatives to the water. These
preservatives, -available at
flower shops or garden
centres, usually 'contain a
hactericide, fungicide and
some carbohydrates.
Mr. Blom says undiluted
gingerale or other clear.
'carbonated beverages can
'also be used. instead of
water, to prolong the. life of'..
cut flowers. These beverages'.
are • similar to 'commerc'ial.
preservatives because they
are highly acidic, preventing ,
bacteria growth and they
also contain Sugar.
