Garden flowers can be
brought indoors to give a
summer whiff of per-
fume. 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.

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."

Lupus Association.
Lupus is a chronic, life-
long rheumatic disease
which affects the small
blood vessels and can
cause damage through
inflammation to any
organ or part of the body.
Its cause is unknown and
as yet there is no cure. It
afflicts 75 in every 100,000
people, primarily women
between the ages of 20
and 40 (10 to 20 per cent of
the patients, are men).
The London branch of
the OLA was formed in
.1979 under the auspices -cif
the Arthritis Sdciety to
inform the public about
this wide -spread but
little-known disease and
to raise additional funds
for lupus research. All
proceeds from the horse
show will go to the
Dungannon area people in accident
