All trees
are not alike
All Christmas trees are not alike. Not only
does each one assume a' unique personality
all its own after it is decorated, each one has
certain characteristics before the or-
naments
rnaments are added.
The sturdy Scotch pine is by far the na-
tional favorite. It maintains its deep green
color and its medium length„needles much
longer than any other type. Shedding is
definitely not a problem with this favorite.
The white pine has needles which are
slightly longer than the Scotch pine. It is
medium green and a popular choice for
"flocking” because the needles are not as
dense as the Scotch pine.
The white spruce sports very short
needles which are blue-green in color. This
type tends to be densely needled and quite
symmetrical.
The Colorado blue spruce is fast becoming
the country's prestige Christmas tree. The
needles are longer than any other spruce
variety and range from a beautiful deep
green to a silver blue.
Although types of available trees may
vary from location to location, the basic
truths are the same about virtually all
Christmas trees.
• First and by far most important, be sure
your tree stays flame resistant. To .do this
cut off about two inches of the stem and
mount it in a stand to which you can add
water daily.
• A tree is fresh if the needles bend instead
of breaking.
• It takes between 6 and 12 years for a tree to
reach the size most suitable for a Christmas
tree.
• Natural trees are the true symbol of a
"real" Christmas and are used everywhere,
because of their great variety in size,
species and shape.
Whether you select and decorate your tree
weeks in advance or have a custom of trim-
ming it on Christmas Eve, select it with care
and thought, treat it to generous drinks of
water and it will add much joy to your
Christmas.
