To keep cut flowers as fresh as possible, an Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food horticulturist gives a few tips. "Cut the healthiest flowers just coming into bloom early in .the morning or in the evening, when its cool," says Russell Gomme. "Using a sharp knife or pruners, cut on a slant so the • flowers can easily absorb water." The butt ends of hard - stemmed flowers, such as gladioli, should be crushed one to two inches from the bottom to in- crease water intake. The ends of milky -stemmed flowers should be charred with a candle flame. Conditioning cut flowers is the key to prolonging their life indoors. Place cut flowers in a pail of warm water for three or four hours, then transfer them to cool water. Mr. Gnomme says this hardening process allows flowers to _tolerate their new home environment. .00 Tid Bits... Any leaves that will be submerged below water should be removed. Stems should be shor- tened and water should be changed daily. Open -necked con- tainers are preferable to narrow vases because they provide more room for water. Sometimes crooked stems can be a ,problem when arranging flowers. When conditioning them, wrap four or five stalks in newspaper. By the time they .are ready for arranging, the newspaper can be discarded and the stalks will be straightened. "Placement of flower arrangements in the home is important," says Mr. Gomrne. "Try to duplicate nature's en- vironment by shading the flowers from direct sunlight during the day and placing them in a cool location at night." +++ The'Huron County Junior Farmers are celebrating their 30th anniversary as a county organization with a social evening on August 25 in the Clinton arena. +++ benefit Arabian horse show will be held at the Ilderton fairgrounds on August 5 for the London branch of the Ontario" Lupus Association.
