DRYING METHODS The Borax Method-Com bine one part borax with six parts of commeal or clean sifted sand (some people use more, some use less). Spread this material in a shallow box to a depth of one or two inches. You may remove the original stem and replace it with wire. .Jlold the flower upside doWn and gently sprinkle more of the borax mixture over it. Keep petals in position and cover with at least an inch of the borax material. Or you may use a grocery carton. Punch holes in the bottom of the box. Put flower stems or wires through the holes so that the blossoms rest on the box. Then cover blossoms with at least 1 inch of the mixture. You will need to cover the table or floor with papers to catch the mixture that comes through or is spilled from the edges of the box. Put the date on the boxes so ycu will know when to expect the flowers to be dry. If the weather has been dry, and you are drying a delicate flower, check it on the third day, otherwise, wait a few more days. You will soon learn about how long each one takes. When flowers are dry, remove from the borax. Brush with a slightly dampened soft brush. Hang upside down for a day. Store in a pasteboard box until ready to arrange^ The Glycerin Method-Ga ther branches of v fully deve loped leaves. Remove any defective leaves and wash to remove dirt and dust. Pound the stem with a hammer until the bark is well split. Mix Vs part glycerin and Vs parts water in a jar. Place branches of leaves in the glycerin mixture. The stems should be submerged in at least five inches of the mixture. Let the branch stay in the glycerin until the leaves have absorbed the glycerin. They will change color and texture. It usually takes two or more 'weeks for the change to take place. Thin leaves may be wiped with a cloth dampened with the glycerin to delay the drying of the leaves, so that they can absorb more of the glycerin. Wipe off each leaf and store in boxes. Leaves of plants that grow close to the ground, such as ivy or lily-of-the-val ley, should be placed in a container and covered with a mixture of Vi part water and Vi part glycerin. They should stay in the mixture from 5 days to 2 weeks. When the leaves are taken out, each one should be wiped carefully and allowed to stand in a well-ventilated place for a few days.
