[TULIP TIM"--- *
^ Make the Most o.. ^ 1
THE TULIPS available all spring long can be beautifully and easily ar
ranged with the help of a pinholder and some tips from your florist. Let
three tulips and a sprig of foliage do th£ work of a dozen, if it pleases
your eye. Here’s how: Cut flower stems with a knife on a slant. Start at
the back and work forward on an arrangement. Put flowers in bowl or
vase one at a time, letting them find different heights and fanning out
gently. If flowers are top-heavy, secure pinholders with plastic or florist’s
clay. Incidentally tulips are among the “best buys” of the spring season!

But the Easter Bunny will
not stop at my house,
For I am getting a
little too old.
