FLORAL DEPARTMENT

Brighter.

Cuba, that can be reached by mail or telegraph

CARE OF FLOWERS 
The life of cut flowers, like roses and carnations 
depends mostly on the: ability to absorb water 
through their stems as fast’ as moisture is lost 
to the air. A hot dry room throws the moisture 
balance out very quickly. Cut a bit of the stem 
off flowers when received and frequently there- 
after. The use of Bloomlife or a similar chemical 
is a very great aid. When used do not change 
water, just add more. Keep out of draft and place 
in a cool room at night. 
POTTED PLANTS from the greenhouse gener- 
ally require ‘large amounts of water and enjoy 
cooler temperature than the average living room. 
A cool night temperature helps greatly. Most 
will stay in bloom longer if given a limited amount 
of sun. Water thoroughly before plants become 
very dry, but do not keep soil perpetually soaked.
