GARNER Home Agent Let us not become too absorbed in keeping coal this summer and forget about the need for mater ials for flower arrangement dur ing the winter months ahead. Now ia the time to be gathering many interestnig materials, both culti vated and wild. Many people think of brown as the predominating color in dried arrangements, but one can have lovely yellows, orange*, greens, blues, reds, purples, grays, whites and blacks. Materials gathered a few days apart will give different textures and colors. Cultivated and wild flowers, grasses, seed pods, berries, leaves, unusual branches, cones, cypress knees, and driftwood can be used successfully in dried arrangements. Gather seed pods when first formed and flowers in bud or freshly bloomed; strip off >11 leaves, bunch together without letting heads touch; hang upside down in a dark, dry place. No moisture should be in the flowers, as it will eauee rot There should be free circulation of air around each bunch.
