CUT FLOWERS CAN BE KEPT LONGER Christmas is the time when pot- ted plants and cut flowers are fre- quently given as gifts. Here are some tips from Dr. A, P. Chan, Chief of the greenhouses at the Central Experimental Farm at Ot- tawa, on how to prolong the llfe of cut flowers. When,buying flowers ask for some floer preservative. This Can he supplied by most good florists. Used according to directions it will increase the life of the owers. It does this by slowing down the bacterial growth in the water which clogs up the stems and prevents the flowers from getting sufficient mo'sture. And as it also i:revents slime from forming, frequent chang- es of water are unnecessary—just add more. Cut the steins of flowers at a slant to provide a wide, fresh en- trance for the water to 'penetrate. 1F the flowers have a big woody stem, smash the end of the stem up for about two inches to allow for a freer intake of water. If flowers are wilted or show signs of wilting soon after arrival, they can be revived by cutting the stem ends and immersing the flowers right up to, but not covering the blooms, and placing them in a mol dark location for six to twelve 'hours. Cut flowers are susceptible to drafts and excessive heat and will last, longer if these conditions can e avoided. Close to windows and immediately above hot water pipes or hot air registers are not suitable places for flowers.
