Included in the dis- play is a plant stand, offered as an attendance prize, which is to be awarded Saturday night to the per- son attending the show and holding the number under which the prize was donated. Each visitor during the two days of the show will be given a number and one of these will be chosen for the attendance prize. No admission will be charged.

ESDAY, AUGUST 9, 1932 RULES FOR KEEPING FLOWERS GIVEN 70: AID LOCAL EXHIBIT: Treatment of Stems and Time of Cutting Are Declared Important By MRS. F. C. STUCKE With the time approaching for the fall flower show, sponsored by the Bismarck Garden club, members of the club agree that it would be of in- terest to the community, particularly to those planning to exhibit, and a benefit to the show as well, if definite information were offered in regard to preparing flowers for showing. A flower faces no harder test than to look its very best for the duration of a flower show. We cannot hope to have our garden beauties keep their petals fresh, their stems straight, and their heads up unless we give them our most intelligent care and wey prepare them for this or- eal. Let us give time and thought to the important points of flower care and reap the reward in ribbons that will Most of the information in this ar- ticle is taken from the booklet, “The Use of Cut Flowers” by Alex Laurie, {well known authority on garden sub- jects, who is affiliated with the hor- leo college. The wilting of flowers is due to cient supply of water through the stems to keep pace with the evapora-{ tion through the foliage and flowers. At ordinary temperatures bacteria | multiply rapidly in the water, attack | the tissues of the stems, clog the con- | ducting vessels and prevent free as- cent of the moisture to the flowers! and foliage above. Ways to Keep Flowers Various means have been tried to counteract this action of bacteria. Or- dinary precautions include the follow- ing suggestions: (1) Cut flowers early in the morn- Early morning means between 4 and 6 a. m. evening between 9 and 10 p. m. (2) Use a sharp knife in preference to shears, the sharper the cut the less the bruising of the conducting ves- sels and the greater the absorption of water. In addition, the lack of ragged edges may lessen the chance of bacter- ial action. (3) Plunge the stems deeply in wa- ter up to the base of the flower. All arranging should be postponed until after the stems have been thoroughly soaked. (4) The proper stage of develop- ment in the flower should be selected. Gladioli are best for cutting when the first floret is open; peonies, when the first petals are unfolding; roses, be- fore the buds open; dahlias when fully open; poppies, the night before they open. (5) Keep the flowers in a humid room, where it is cool and dark, un- til ready to bring to the show. (6) Use containers which permit tree entrance of air through the top. | (All leaves which are submerg- ed should be removed to prevent their decomposition and the fouling of the water. This is particularly important with many flowers such as asters, dahlias and zinnias. of one inch at least. Chrysanthem- ums, lilacs, roses, cosmos and the like are benefited by this treatment. (9) Poinsettias, poppies, heliotrope, dahlias and mignonette will last much and) m, Wednesday. searing it in a candle flame also are good. Precaution must be taken to keep the’ steam from the flowers or they will turn brown. ial Treatments Some flowers require special treat- and snap dragons keep best out of! the refrigerator. Carnations will ab-/ sorb four times their weight of water in preparing them for exhibit. Wa- ter lilies may be kept from closing by pouring a few drops of warm par- affin into the heart of the flower, while a few drops of liquid gelatin dropped into the heart of a poppy will prolong its life several days. Use of chemicals whose disinfect- ing properties aid in increasing the life of a flower is common. Among these are charcoal, salt, formaldehyde, camphor, ammonia, listerine and as- pirin, When used in very small quan- tities they aid in preventing the growth of detrimental bacteria. One-tenth of one per cent concen- tration of boric acid (one-half tea- spoon to two quarts of water) used with carnations has increased the keeping qualities by three to seven days. One-half of an aspirin tablet added to two quarts of water was found to be helpful in prolonging the life of cut chrysanthemums, asters and dahlias. The most pronounced increase in the life of asters was found through the use of one per cent cane sugar solution (1 teaspoon to one quart of water.) Their life was doubled by this treatment. Hollyhocks dipped in a one-tenth of one per cent of nitric acid solution keep well and dahlias have been ben- efited by using one-tenth of one per cent of potassium nitrate. ARRANGE RITES FOR MRS, JOHN STIRLING Funeral Services Will Be Con-. ducted From Presbyterian Church Wednesday Funeral services for Mrs. Joha Stirling, Bismarck woman who died suddenly Monday morning at her home, will be conducted from the First Presbyterian church at 2:30 p Rev.

An effort to correct certain theories | entertained about Indians by white persons was made by Sharon R. Mote, superintendent of the U. S. school here, in a talk before the Bis- marck Kiwanis club Tuesday noon. Mote said the average white per- son has the idea that the Indian is romantic figure and lives a romantic This impression is creat- ed by the Indian who, in fine feathers and bright-colored regalia, attends rodeos and fairs all summer long, he said. This Indian, the speaker con- tinued, usually has an unkempt and unhealthful home, enough to support his family, and be- lieves the government owes him a liv- ing. He is too busy to work in the summer time and runs short of food in the winter. On the other hand, the superintend- ent said, too few white persons realize that there are many Indians who are making a success at the white man’s civilization and are becoming good citizens and good farmers and are in- dustrious. North Daxota has 11,000 Indians on four reservations, he said. The task of bringing the white man’s civiliza- tion to them is difficult but is pro- gressing.
