Experiments were conducted to measure effects of storage and preservative solutions on the useful life of cut gypsophila. Flowers were held in aster or preservative at 40° F for 1, 2, and 3 weeks. After storage the flowers were evaluated in a 74° F keeping room in either water or . preservative solution. Flowers held in preservative at room temperature . were superior to those held in water.
