Hints To Keep Flowers Fresh
Put a tablespoonful of powdered charcoal into the water which is to receive the flower stalks. The charcoal will settle immediately in the bottom of the vase, and the water will remain liquid. This done, it is not necessary to renew the water or the charcoal for several days. The flowers will keep their freshness and their perfume, and will look and smell as fine as those just brought in from the garden.

Home Preserver for Cut Flowers
1 teaspoon of sugar.
1 teaspoon of household bleach.
1 teaspoon of lemon or lime juice.
1 quart of lukewarm water.
Restoring Wilted Flowers
Cut off about half an inch of the stems from the wilted flowers. Insert the trimmed stalk into boiling water. In a few moments, the flowers will resume almost their original freshness. The process is most applicable to colored flowers such as roses, geraniums, azaleas, etc. White flowers may turn yellow. Thick-petalled flowers show the most marked improvement.
