KEEPING CUT DAHEIA BLOOMS 
Cut the flowers as late as possible in the 
evening or very early in the morning, while 
the dew is still on them. Cut with long stems 
or stalks. Then immediately submerge them 
two-thirds of their length in cold water and 
put them in a cool place, away from all draft 
for a few hours, or overnight, if possible. If you 
pierce the hollow, lower part of the stem with 
the point of a knife, it will allow it to take up 
more water. In cutting any of the double types, 
try and select those blooms that are in their 
prime, or developed to their fullest extent. Just 
a day too soon will often make quite a differ- 
ence in some of the quicker maturing varieties. 
When cutting SINGLE dahlias select only the youngest 
blooms, (those not fully open preferred) and they will last 
about four days, or till the pollen in center fully develops. 
Syringing the cut blooms with a fine spray 
of water will help them to last. When wilted, 
they will usually revive if sprayed and put in 
a cool place, away from drafts, in fresh water.
