Have Tree Base
Stand In Water
Christmas trees, like flowers, will
respond to being kept with the base
in tlie water. Here arc two simple
things to do if yon want your tree
to stay green and fresh.
Buy a tree which has been cut as
recently as possible.
Cut olT the end of the trunk diag
onally, at least one inch above the
original cut. This will expose a
moist surface which will absorb wa
ter. Stand the trunk of the tree in
water at once, and, if it is not to be
taken into the house for several
days, keep it in a cool place.
