while in other communities people

Christmas Flower
With Poinsettia
While it is rather odd, it cer
tainly is interesting that America
has given the world its most .be
loved Christmas plant—the poin
settia. This p*lant, like so many
others of our best flowers, is na- j
tive to tropical America. The flor
ist has been able to propagate it
and grow it in a small pot, so that,
with its flaming red bracts or
leaves, it makes a most desirable
Christmas plant.
i
There is a sentiment that goes
with most Christmas plants—we
hate to throw them away. What
can be done with the poinsettia?
Most of us figure that it is* easier
and cheaper to throw it away.
However, if properly handled, it
will bloom for you a second or
even a third or fourth year. You
can even propagate it, if you wish,
and have more plants.
Give the plant a resting period
around the middle of February.
The florist simply lays it under
the benches, but you will probably
put it in your basement. Water it
occasionally-—-enough to keep the
wood from wilting, but no more.
Then around the latter part, of
May or early in June, bring it out,
cut it back rather severely, and
repot it. You can then put it out
side if you wish, in the shade of a
tree or shriib, and water it enough
to keep it growing. Of course if

shows that the community is anx

Two fires were reported on Sat

Another Reason Why
*.C . r) A r- .1 ;
You’ll Prefer Budweiser
« k
/ N
Year in, year out, we pay premium prices
for a special type of brewing barley. Then,
as gc: 1 as it is, only the plumpest grains
are selected for inalting.
Choicest hop blossoms and rice are added
in the costliest brewing process known.
Then come two fermentations and much,
much longer- than - average ageing... and
you get Budweiser.
