The vivid kalanchoe is the Christmas plant best suited to the dry, warm atmosphere of modern homes, says Mr. Dale. It should never be allowed to dry out, however. If the plant is pinched back and repotted after blooming, it will bloom again, During flowering their first season, Christmas plants will 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.

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.

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 CRANBERRY SHERBET If your family are fond of sherbets here is a 9reamy deli- cate one that is good before, with or after the turkey. 2 1/2 cups cranberries, washed and sorted 1 1/4 cups water 1 1/2 cups sugar 1/4 cup orange juice 1 tbl lemon juice 1 cup chilled whipping cream Combine cranberries and wa- ter in a saucepan; cook until skins pop.
