FLOWER-DRI PRESERVES FLOWERS PERMANENTLY! 



Now you can enjoy the brilliant beauty of fresh 

 flowers all winter long! FLOWER-DRI removes 

 only the moisture from the flowers — does not affect 

 their gorgeous colors or form. 



Months later, they look as beautiful as if fresh 

 from the garden. Keep roses, annuals, perennials, 

 arrangements, corsages, etc., indefinitely. Easy, safe, 

 fun. Anyone can do it. Better than artificial flowers. 



HOW TO USE FLOWER-DRI 



CS^y Pour some of this dry mixture into a fruitcake tin 



to a depth of 2 inches. Insert short-stemmed flowers 

 in it, face up, and space them so they do not touch. 

 Cover the flowers with the mixture, gently working it around the petals. 

 Then put a cover on the tin and seal it with tape to make it airtight. Let it 

 stand for one week. To remove the flowers, carefully pour off the mixture 

 and lift out the blooms. Then place dried flowers, with an adequate 

 amount of Flower-Dri, in a sealed polyethylene bag until winter. To 

 make longer stems, insert a piece of florists' wire into the short stem and 

 cover it with green floral tape. The flowers are then ready for arranging.
