CONTRIBUTION ,
Jce! Poinseil,
O.S. Sfafesmsn,
Holed for Flower
Although he was a .brilliant states
man, and the friend of.fQur, Amerl-.,
:an presidents, Joel Roberts Poin
wtt is famous chiefly, because he
jitroduced, the: Mexican plant
mown as the "Painted Leaf, of
"Mexican Fire Plant" into the
United States. '
Poinsett, then U.S.' ambassador
to Mexico, called the plant to the
attention of American botanists
and grew the plant himself as a
hobby at his South Carolina home,
after he left Mexico.
The plant grew heavily in Amer
ican favor especially popular at
Christmas time and was renamed
poinscttia, in honor of the man who
brought it to this country.
Contrary to popular -impression.
tha flaming red bracts of the poin
icti.i are not flowers but leaves,
arid it is fo these bracts that the
plants are grown.
It is possible to have variations
of either -'pink or white varieties, ,
us well is of the 'more usual red,
popular because it carries out the
holiday color scheme of rich bright
red with- a contrast of the dtirk
green of the leaves.- ' ;
The beautiful poinscttia, almost
a "must" as far as Christmas .deco
rating is concerned, is enc of the
most temperamental of plants.
The . poinsettia thrives in its
native Mexico, but elsewhere must'
be handled carefully-rperhaps pam
pered slightly. However, the bril
liantly colored flowers it has 1 at
Christmas time is reward enough
for any efforts needed to make the
plant thrive.
. Constant . warmth is needed by
pomsettias. Temperatures shoulc
be kept between 70 and 80 degree?
during the day and no less than C;
degrees at night. Any sudder
change in temperature and drafts
will cause the- plant to drop its
leaves. V..
Abundant water is also a neces
sity, but it should be applied bu
once a day so that the plant ma;
become moderately dry betwee:
waterings.' -This permits ; nced?ct
oxygen to reach the roots. .
Try to give- the poinsettia thi
sunniest spot available. It is wise
to fertilize it 'occasionally with a
good commercial food tablet.

Holly Superstition:
It Will Determine
Ruler in Household
TTUSBANDS ." and ' wives! . Atten-
AAtion! Thera is ah old supersti
tion about holly that will interest
you. It was- a bolief of the ancients
that the first .to bring Christmas
holly into the house, either husband
or .'wife,., would be 'the. 'one to rule
the, household, during, the ensuing
year. -; .'-...-
Eut don't .put too. much stock in
the ; belief. Like : other. 'Christmas
legends, the' trth might 'be lost
in- history. '," :'
Tha' Druids kere great 'admirers
of the holly plant. They believed
that its evergreen leaves attested
to the fact , that it "was never de
serted by the sun, and was there
fore sacred. .
Legends have related how the
crown of thorns was plaited from
holly. The leaves of the plant were
white until the Crucifixion, after
which they turned a deep, blood
red. ' '' ' ',"": " ',"
A holly wreath placed on the!
doo is believed enough to frighten
away-even the. boldest of witches,
