Bees can embalm as successfully as

happens in damp weather that a slug

shohld, of course, be
changed each day, and it will add,
much taetheir lives if the stems of the
flowers are wiped before replacing.
Silver estees, it will be found, are
apt to make roses fade very quickly -,1
and it is a good edes, to use a little,
mortar in the water. A much more,
satisfactory method, however, is to use e.
wet sand in place of water. Where
vases or bowls, other than glass ones,
are used, it not only keeps the flowers
fresh longer than water, but has an
additional advautage in keeping the
container stable ape less easy to
knock over.
The idea of keeping tut flowers has,
by the way, been taken much, further.
A friend of mine dipped the blooms of
her favorite flower in a solution of gum • •
arabiv. They were then hung down to
dry, and, after three such coatings I
am told that the blooms kept fresh for
months. Thee gum does not spoil their
beauty in the least, and, owing to be-,
ing transparent, is hardly noticeable.
