EVERGREENS ADD ZEST
TO CHRISTMAS SEASON
A few evergreen decorations, bright
ened with splashes of red here and
there, will help give the home a holi
day atmosphere during the Christmas
season.
"You can make your own decora
tions if evergreens arc growing in
woodlands near your home," said Miss
Pauline Cordon, State College
sion specialist in home rnooagement.
In most North Carolina woodlands
can be found holly, laurel, cedar, pine,
running cedar, southern smilax, mistle
toe, pine cones, spruce cones, and
many varieties of colorful berries.
When gathering these greens. Miss
Gordon cautioned, be careful not to
uproot the plants or disfigure the
trees. In places, evergreens are be
coming scarce as a result of thought
less destruction.
Holly is an unusually slow-growing
tree, she added, and especial care
should be exercised to protect the
trees. Snip off only small branches,
and don't cut away more than one
fifth of the trees' lent surface. Cut,
the branches, never break them o f.
In making decorations* one needs
wire wreath foundations, wire cutters,
pliers, twine, a sharp knife, and a
pair of garden shears.
It is necessary to have a frarr. to
make a wreath.. It may be made of
wire and one of the evergreen vines,
such as smilax and running cedar,
or boughs may be entwined about
the wire. Such boughs must b< k.ng
and flexible.
Then clip the evergreens into ir.ni
sized pieces and fasten them to tltc
fratee until tbe i? form
ed. It may then be trirntaedityijh J'ine
cones, red berries, mriKrcfoe, cran
berries, tangerines, kuniquats, grapes,
apples, lemons, or other bright color
ed objects.
