Theda Nelle Scott discusses collecting and preserving plant matter for fall dried arrangements. The Family Living committee introduces a program covering materials to use and drying methods, emphasizing sourcing, drying or treating materials, and arranging designs.
The article lists plant parts ideal for dried arrangements and notes best collection times for preservation. It covers flowers, foliage, seed pods, grasses, and wild materials, plus methods for air drying and using borax sand mixes for delicate blooms. It advises drying in a hot dry summer, two week dry times, and storage in dry, airy spaces.
In borax are bleeding heart, can dytuft, daisies, delphinium, gloxinia, lilac, hill-of-the-valley, marigolds, pansies, snapdragons, ppon chrysanthemums, stocks, violots, roses and zinnias. Pansies and zinnias must be treated by this method for complete success.
