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

Old Dwellings Change Hands Fast
Here's a long house full of jogs
and ells, planned to put the living
quarters back where they belong
where it's quiet. 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. See how easily the base
ment, kitchen, bathroom, and bed
rooms can be reached without pass-

Maintenance Loans
Hit Record High
For Half of 1952
Home maintenance and repair
loans insured by the Federal Hous
ing Administration under its Title
I program leaped to a record high
of $450,390,159 for the first, six
months of 1952. 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
