"The Christmae Plant," takes its name from a bril liant American statesman, Joel Roberts Poinsett. _ . Poinsett was U.S. ambassador to ; Mcxico and ? friend to several American presidents, yet ha achieved his principal fame by In troducing this Mexican plfent to American botanists. Upcr. his re turn to his South Carolina home, Poinselt grew the unusual house plant and was directly responsible for its ensuing popularity in this country. The beautiful poinsettia thrives in ' its native .Mexico, but elr?wheia must be handled with care.

Sudden changes in^ temperature cause the plant to drop its leaves. The brilliantly colored flowers it has at .
