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.

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.
