The Everlasting, or Eternal Flowers as they are sometimes called, are a very popular class of plants, which 

 retain their form and color for years ; are used for winter bouquets, wreaths, crosses, monograms, baskets, etc. 

 They are known by the French as " Immortelles." Some of the ornamental grasses make up into bouquets, etc., 

 splendidly with Everlastings. The flowers generally should be picked before they are fully open, and hung up in 

 email bunches (not too large, or they will mildew), in a dry, airy and shady place, with the flowers downward to 

 keep their stems straight and in good shape.
