Show KccpInK Flowers. A new method of preserving natural flowers has been discovered by an English Eng-lish lady, whose process is well worth considering, says Farm and Fireside. The flower buds were cut just as they were about to open and the ends of the stems covered with sealing wax. Each was then wrapped separately in paper and laid away in a box. When they were wanted she clipped the stems just above the wax and immersed them in water, to which a little nitre had been added; and, though the flowers had been gathered nearly a month before, on the morrow they opened with a much beauty and fragrance as if freshly fresh-ly plucked. |
