THE GARDENING WORLD . 
March 14, 1903. 
We understand that the Privy Council, at a meeting held last 
Tuesday, presided over by the Duke of Devonshire, adopted the 
report of the Poisons Committee, a summary of which appeared 
in a recent issue of The Gardening World. 
* * * 
Practical Gardening at Biddenden.— Mr. Hollingworth has 
now couqileted his course of very interesting lectures which have 
been given in the schoolroom in connection with the Technical 
Education Committee of the County Council. The lectures have 
been well attended, and ten candidates have entered the garden¬ 
ing competition. At the last meeting a very cordial vote of 
thanks was proposed by Dr. Kerr to Mr. Hollingworth for his 
very instructive lectures, which had been much appreciated.

Jttnofloris. 
The question of preserving cut flowers in a fresh state is a 
matter of great importance at the present day, when they enter 
so much into domestic arrangements. Many experiments are 
made and recipes employed with the view of preserving flowers 
in a cut state, but if they require preparation each time they 
are to be used some of the more "important items are liable to 
be overlooked. Junofloris is a preparation made ready to hand, 
and requiring only to be put into water at the rate of a tea¬ 
spoonful of the liquid to a pint of water. The liquid is colour¬ 
less and without smell, or almost so, and has the effect of stimu¬ 
lating the passage of water into the tissues of flower stems by 
which the flowers are preserved in a fresh condition, or revived 
in a wonderfully short time if they have been drooping previous 
to being put in the water. As the spring advances the increased 
temperature will have the effect of causing the flowers to fade 
rapidly if they have been cut some time previous to their being 
put in water. Readers may obtain Junofloris for themselves 
and try it by applying to the Junofloris Co., P Department. 95 
and 96, High Holborn, London, W.C.
