Neither prolongs their beauty, say a couple of professional and Mrs.

Andrew Grupp, who have had a shop across the street from the Metropolitan Opera house for 28 years. Mrs. Grupp said a big chunk of their business comes from opera fans around the country, who wire floral pieces to their favorite singers. And through the doors of their small shop also pass many operatic greats, not only to buy for their homes or for friends, but also to ask how to preserve the life of a cut flower. The advice: Unpack flowers the minute they arrive, but plunge them into a vase of cold water.

Instead, the warmest welcome is a rest in a dark room and a warm drink (wrater around in a bucket. This is known as making blooms fresh, crisp and dewey. Before putting the flowers in a vase, stems should be reopened to allowr them to drink freely. Make a slanting cut across the bottoms of the stems with a sharp knife.
