Everlasting Flowers. 
FOR WINTER BOUQUETS. 
The neculiar value of Everlasting Flowers is the permanent character of their form and colour when carefully dried. 1 hey 
should be P cut as they come into bloom, and before the flowers are fully developed, and hung up in small bunches in some dry 
dark place, heads downwards, that the stems may dry straight. Most of the grasses can be dried in the same manner, and by the aid 
of dyes made to assume charming colours.
