Cut Roses Can Be Kept By Storing Many rose lovers will admit that Mother Nature's lime schedule doesn't always fit in with their own. Spectacular displays of roses often spem to come loo early for the flower show or special event selected for exhibits from the gar den. Research has now come up wilh some practical susgestions to make' the storing of roses more effective and reliable for home gardeners. Experiments demonstrate that un der the right, conditions, flowers can be kept for almost two weeks and still compare favorably with fresh cut. flowers. The three important factors in storing roses are temperature, moisture and sugar content. A high temperature will speed the normal functions of Ihe rose and push it quickly past, its peak. Recent ex periments showed that cut roses last best at a constant temperature of 31 degrees. In the average home refrigerator, roses should he kept on the first shelf below the freez ing unit where the. temperature will be closest to the established mean. Water Is second in Importance in storing roses. To prevent trans piration, (evaporation of water from the leaves and petals) roses should be packed in containers that are moisture proof and air tight. Storing with the stems out of water further slows down the plant cycle and keeps the flowers from opening. Plunging the stems into water will speed the. opening of the flowers and the dropping of the petals. Sugar is the third factor in ef fective rose storage. The greater the quantity of sugar present in the rose when it is cut, the better its lasting qualities. Roses should be. cut on a bright day In the after noon when the sugar supply has been built to its highest levl, Containers for storing cut roses are easily improvised. It should he kept in mind that the container , must he moisture proof and air tight. Mailing tubes coated with paraffin, cellophane containers, po itato chip cans and deep freeze j wrappers are all materials that can be used successfully. Cut roses in the afternoon just as tJie first petals are beginning to unfold, and without placing them in water, place them in the stor age container, Put the container in the refrigerator and keep the tern if TSf 5 IF Ii i I V A Register-Guard photo, Wiltshire engrav.

Living room, dining room, breakfast nook, and kitchen are down Ihe walk to the rear, while the bedrooms are up front toward the street. Thus the bedrooms are barriers from day time noises, and, shut off by the hallway, afford privacy at all hours. Around all the house except the living-room ell and dining room, the walls are of 10-inch siding, capped in front with flush siding and painted white. Living room and dining-room walls are of white painted brick. Rustic-looking hand split shakes cover the roof. A look at the floor plans will show the purpose of the jogs and the ells.

This compares to 5304,947,339 for a similar period in 1951, the previous record year. The volume of Title I loans is taken as an indication of the total amount of money spent annually for home modernization. This is estimated at $3 billion for last year. The FHA Insures loans for both materials and labor. For example, money can he borrowed to buy asphalt shingles for reroofing and for application.
