The vivid kalanchoe is the

the dry, warm atmosphere of
modern homes, says Mr. Dale.
It should never be allowed to

SUGAR, SPICE, FRUITS AND FLAVORING MAKE THIS CHRISTMAS TREE BREAD
French Canadian delight
This " souche de noel" is a variation of the traditional yule log
so popular with French Canadians. It is basically a plain butter
cake made in two 6" or 8" cake pans. The layers are each cut
in two and the four layers are spread with jam or jelly, Then it
is iced with a delicious, butter cream icing and decorated with
mushroom-shaped meringues dusted with cocoa. (Canada Dep't

minutes. Bake in 375 degree
oven 15 to 20 min. Combine
icing sugar, vanilla and suf-
ficient hot water to make thin
icing. Drizzle on baked tree
while still warm, and decorate
with pieces of fruit and nuts.

Holiday buffet features colorful ham
Here's a grand meal everyone can enjoy during the festive season,
The centre of attraction is cooked ham, sliced and mounded
"petal-style" with slices overlapping, then covered with a gela-
tine glaze and refrigerated until serving time. Peeking out of the
casserole is a rich, creamy sauce crammed with high quality
mushrooms and a variety of quick-cooking frozen vegetables , . .
delicious! The potato chips, of course, came out of a box--so
handy to keep around for serving either hot or cold at this busy
time. (Canada Dep't of Agriculture)

play it cool with Christmas
plants and they'll bloom long
past the season.
Nearly all Christmas plants
require a cool, moist atmos-
phere for maximum bloom, al-
though the opposite usually pre-
walls in modern homes and
apartments, But some expert
tricks of the trade can help
persuade plants to last longer
and sometimes to bloom again
next year,
One of the touchiest of winter
plants is the colorful poinsettia,
says a Canadian plant authority.
This native flower of Mexico
must be moist at all times but
never have wet feet, according
to Harry D. Dale of The Dale
Estate Limited, Brampton. Mr.
Dale is married to the former
Laura Woodall of Crediton.
Keep the plant in bright light,
away from drafts, and pour off
excess moisture after watering,
Mr. Dale advises.
As poinsettia leaves turn yel-
low, remove them. After the
bloom has dropped, the plant and
the fern used as fill will make
an attractive green houseplant
for several more weeks. And if
you're brave enough to try for
another round of blooms, dry
out the poinsettia in the base-
ment for a few months after
blooming, repot it in medium
rich soil in spring, keep it
moist and in bright light, and
watch for blooms,
Another Christmas favorite,
the cyclamen, requires much
the same care. It should be
always moist, without wet feet
and if possible, it should be
removed to a cool place at night.
For a second round of blooms,
follow the rules for poinsettias,
Mr. Dale advises, but don't be
disappointed if you're unsuc-
cessful.
Azalea fanciers are in for a
surprise this year. The vivid
winter plants, traditionally im-
ported from Belgium, were this
year procured from the US and
Holland, because of an embargo
due to a dangerous parasite
found in Belgian soil, the golden
nematode.
This year's azaleas are a
different variety, still in vivid
pinks and reds, but single
blooms on shorter stems and
smaller daintier plants,
Azaleas need be not only
moist but soaked. "It's the only
plant that's safe with wet feet,"
said Harry Dale. "Water it
twice a day and if by chance it
dries out, steep it overnight in
the bathtub with water right over
the pot. It's a very thirsty
plant," Free Delivery Exeter
