Christmas- Greetings i\A u 'j It's anybody's guess what the future » \ has in store but the pas^ particu larly the last year, leaves no need for guessing. For us it has been ^ filled with pleasure in serving such swell folks as you . . . Merry Christmas to You! Did you ever notice that the pret tiest homes around the communi ty at Christmas are the ones dec orated liberally with the green things of the season? Their festive appearance is obtained easily with proper display of such things as e'vergreens, berries, seed pods, and pine cones. These simple decorations are readily available to most everyone at no cost and to use an old ex pression: “The woods are full of them.” A trip into the country to gather them can also be turned into a pleasant excursion for the whole family and a brief rest period from the “getting ready” for Christmas company, parties, and holiday af fairs. One word of caution, however: Don't kill treer or bushes. Prune carefully when selecting your ever greens. The Christmas tree — whether large or small—should be the cen ter of the decorations. Place your tree in front of a window, so that its bright, cheerful glow can be seen from within and without Dec-^ orate the tree with balls of red, silver, blue and green, strands of popcorn and various decorations that are saved from year to year. Be sure to hang a rope of ever greens, a spray or wreath on your front-door—these signify to many who pass your home that you are celebrating this joyous season. A rope of evergreens requires approximately four or five yards of rope. The place you plan to use it will determine the exact length. Next, you’ll need several short lengths of wire, short sprays of evergreen, balls,' bows, red berries or bells. Place a bunch of ever green against the rope and fasten in place with the wire; repeat un til the rope has been completely covered. The rope may be draped over the door frame, mantel, or along the stair rail. Pick out other spots where additional decorations, like berries, balls or bells will add to the effectiveness of over-all ap pearance. I GOODYEAR <#..9 S 1 aivU r ectal 'CtrCr Holiday plants require special* care if they are to look their best. Just like human beings, they need bright light or sunlight, in the day and a proper amount of water. Wilting, leaf yellowing and burn ing, leaf drop and premature loss of flowers can be caused by under watering or over-watering plants. Thorough watering is important as soon as plants are dry, but avoid leaving plants standing in water. Puncture the thifnfl or heavy paper on pots at the drainage hole to pro vide necessary drainage. Here are some farther sugges tions: Lower the night temperature to prolong the life of blooms. Mini mum night temperature for poin- settias and Christmas begonias should be 00 degrees. The desir able night temperatures for aza leas, Christmas cactus, chrysan themums, cyclamen, Jerusalem cherry, Kalanchoe, ornamental peppers, potted bulbs and cut flowers are between 50 degrees and 60 degrees. High room tempera tures hasten the maturity of flowers and shorten their life. Avoid sudden temperature changes and drafts. Keep both plants and cut flowers away from radiators and heat registers and out of drafts. Poinsettias are espe cially sensitive to sudden temper ature changes. They should never be left near a window sill as drafts will cause leaves to turn yellow and drop. ms
