Florists Suggest Easy Steps
To Lengthen Life Os Flowers
Whether a Haight-Ashbury
hippie or a proper Boston ma
tron, who would argue that
flowers are a natural and ap
propriate way to brighten life,
welcome friends, or add beauty
to virtually every occasion? Yet,
how few know of the simple
steps of preparation which
would make flowers last days
longer for extra enjoyment.
For those not in the know,
Florists’ Transworld Delivery
(FTD) experts offer some pro
fessional tips on caring for cut
flowers and floral arrangements
GM
which promise to prolong the
life of the blooms.
First, to help the blooms take
in water, cut at least one-half
inch off the bottom of the stems.
Use a sharp knife and make the
cut on a slant rather than
straight across. If the flowers
have heavy, woody stems, slit
or mash the ends of the stems
to separate the fibers. This will :
increase their intake of water.
THE hope of the world lies in good leader
ship.
A good friend who observes closely and
thinks deeply, says the human race reminds
him of a flower.
The cultivation of the chrysanthemum
from a weed to a gorgeous bloom is one of
the great horticultural accomplishments. This
was done in about two human generations.
If the chrysanthemum were left to itself it
would go back to a weed, possibly within five
years. That is the nature of chrysanthemums
and all cultivated flowers.
The human race improves itself under good
leadership. If the chain of leaders is unbroken
progress is unbroken, but if a break occurs in
the chain we revert in a few generations to
something just a little better than savagery.

We’ll spend almost $1 million
every day to keep up with
your electric needs.
Georgia Power will spend more than $230 million for
construction this year, because you are using more elec
tricity than ever. That s nearly $1 million each working
day, to build new facilities and enlarge existing ones.
This year’s construction budget is the largest in our
history. It’s $79 million more than the combined invest
ments of all the 140 new industries that came on our
service lines last year.
And, since this money must be raised in the open
market, record-high interest rates will add millions of
dollars more to our costs.
The money will be used to build generating stations.
New substations. Transmission and distribution lines.
Because our goal is to continue supplying plenty of de
pendable, low-cost electric power that makes life better
in so many ways. We think that’s a pretty important job
And well worth the money we spend.

Next, the flowers should be
“conditioned” by placing them
in a clean container filled with
110 degree (F) water, bath tem
perature. for three hours. Keep
the blossoms wrapped during
this time-a plastic or paper bag
hood slipped over the top of the
blossoms will do.
With this done, you are ready
to arrange the conditioned flow
ers in a dean container in
whichever way you wish. Be
sure to remove all leaves that
fall below the water line in the
finished arrangement as they
will contaminate the water.
And, don’t put aspirins, pen
nies, or similar home remedies
in the container. They do not
prolong the life of flowers.
To lengthen the life of flower
arrangements purchased direct
ly from florists, the FTD ex
perts have this advice: keep
floral arrangements away from
heat and drafts; place them in
a cool spot at night; and, add
fresh water to the container
daily. Finally, every two or
three days remove the flowers
from their container, cut the
stems, condition them again,
and rearrange.
Certainly, flowers say almost
anything you want them to. and
they do it with beauty and
charm every time. The best
part is that they are available
throughout the year, and with a
little extra care will brighten
your home for a greater length
of time. — M.M.
