The beautiful bouquets shown here are an inspiration to 
try your skill at the fascinating hobby of flower arranging. 
You may be surprised at how absorbing and satisfying it 
can be. 
Cut your roses freely and treat yourself to the color and 
perfume a rose arrangement will add to your home. You 
need not be an expert to achieve some beautiful effects. And 
who knows—in a little while you may be entering your cre- 
ations in the next rose show. 
The best time to cut roses is evening or early morning. 
Cut just above a leaf. taking a stem no longer than you real- 
ly need. Immediately plunge the stem (up to the flower 
head) in warm water and let it stand an hour or two. Strip 
off all leaves that would be below water level in the contain- 
er and then arrange the flowers in a bow] of cold water.
