Strong Flower Stem: Take a bucket of tepid, not cold, water into the garden and plunge the cut stems directly into it. (Cold water to a strong flower stem has the same effect as a cold Shower to a gardener: Shock!) Use a sharp Knife or scissors to cut the stems, and take more length than you think you might need to ensure plenty of stem for strong flower stem arranging. When cutting, never pull at the stem. This can bruise and damage cell walls, restricting the free movement of water. Cut strong flower stems continue living and need all the water the stems can take in.

in winter) are the Pink Ribbon (Nastro Rosa) and Blue Ribbon (Nastro
Azzurro), which follow the most important arteries of tourist Italy from
Naples to Lombardy and Piedmont. The Sicily circuit (in winter) is the
Gold Ribbon (Nastro d'Oro), offering a full and marvelous week, and ;
the popular Riviera ribbon, much used in entering or leaving Italy, be¬
tween Genoa and Monte Carlo/Nice, is the Flower Ribbon (Nastro dei i
Fiori).
4. CIAT (pronounced Chee-aht) stands for Compagnia Italians Autoservizi Turistici, a State-encouraged and FIAT-spurred organization that has fairly revo¬lutionized tourist travel in Italy, from the Alps to and through Sicily. It operates on a number of "Ribbon" routes (Blue Ribbon, Rose Ribbon, Gold Ribbon, Flower Ribbon) with wonderful elan and smartness. CIAT's coaches, staffed always by two driver-mechanics and by a hostess-guide as capable and highly trained as any you'll find in Europe, have most of the amenities I have mentioned above, and I've noticed unusual touches of human interest in the treatment ac¬corded to passengers. The coaches are all big FIAT mile-eaters, of modern and comfortable type. Thousands of American tourists in Italy have learned to de¬pend on CIAT travel more than on the crowded trains.
