HOW TO DRY PLANTS AND FLOWERS Flowers and flower arrange- rrents should be an integral part of our home decorating. and part of summer’s bounty of bloom can be preserved to brighten our winter color scheme. Most of us gather roadside seedpods and grasses to make a flowerless arrange- ment in the fall, but have you ever tried drying flowers and leaves to preserve their color? Look for material from garden flowers, wildflowers, vegetables, grasses and cereals, gourds, berries, seedpods, cones and nuts. In ordering seeds and plants this spring, include some varieties which take to preser- vation and have fun drying them this summer. A 10c package of “Old-fashioned Garden" or mixed annual seeds will provide enough color for a succession of winter bouquets. Cockscomb, sumac. zinnia, tithonia, golden- rod, marigold, sunflower, bells of Ireland, hydrangea. delphin- ium, larkspur, cornflower, pan- sies, blue salvia, strawflower, statice, heather, form a rainbow of dry-able material. The more familiar greys, browns and tans come from naturally dry seed- pods and grasses. Material preserved by hang- ing includes celosia, hydrangea, Itatlce. strawflower, bergamot, blue salvia, goldenrod (cut in bud). Queen Anne’s lace, and tening the drying process. This method retains a more natural form and a greater degree of color than any other method. Mix one part borax to two parts corn meal and add one scant tablespoon of fine uniod- ized salt per cupful of mixture. (The salt is not essential but in- creases the brilliancy of the color.) Spread the mixture to a depth of an inch in a tray or other shallow container. Gather the flowers on a warm sunny day. Some flowers will continue to open during drying so should be picked before maturity. Tis- sues should be stifl‘, not limp, when put into the agent so it is well to soak the flowers before drying. Run a fine wire through the centre of the flower and top of the stem and trim the stem short around the wire. During drying the stem will shrink around the wire. Again, wiring is not essential. but dried stems are stiff and brittle, awk- ward to arrange and easily snap- ped. Better to wire before than after drying. Place flower face down or face up on the mixture and flufl mixture around and over petals. Experience “ill tell you which way up flowers do best, but in general flat daisy- like faces go down and doubles and "snouts" go face up, cups filled and supported by the med- ium. 5completed in two veeks or so, Glycerinize leaves in a solu- tion of 1:3 glycerine and 25, wat- er, five inches deep in a tall container. Gather stems and branches of leaves which absorb water freely, slash or mash ends and immerse in solution. As solution is absorbed, more water may be added. Leaves will turn color and become soft and sup- ple. They should be removed from solution when process is and solution may be kept in a jar for another batch. Leaves may be used in dried or fresh arrangements as immersion in water for short periods is not harmful. They may last for sev- eral years. Try beech (spring and fall), maple, oak, ivy. salal, To dry gourds: cut with a stem, vash carefully in soapy water and dry. Immerse in household disinfectant solution, prick each end with a hatpin, and hang up by the stem or place on a screen. After dry- ing, gourds may be shellacked, varnished, or sprayed with paint or plastic. A class for dried flowers hasl been included in the October show.
