Twelve Varieties of Flowers That “Dry” for Winter Bouquets 
All these flowers on pages 60 and 61 are beautiful and very desirable for every flower-garden and for cut-flowers 
throughout the summer and fall, but they all have the additional value of “drying” on their stems, which preserves 
them for use in winter bouquets in the home, which are now very popular and becoming more so every winter. 
For your own use, or if you grow flowers for market, here is your opportunity to make good profit in the fall and 
throughout the winter by growing an abundance of these twelve different flowers. They might all be termed of 
the “everlasting” class.
