Phone now for your appointment with holiday .glamour. Haircut, shampoo and ityle set One plants settia leaves. Whether you~buy one for yourself or receive one as a gift you will be anxious to know how to keep it looking its .best. The poinsettia is a tropical plant, native of Mexico and Cen tral America where it grows to a height of 15 feet. It'needs a warm, even temperature and as much light as possible. Give it the sunniest window, not in a draft and not near a radiator. Keep the soil moist, not wet. Mrs. W. C. Allison, town, who always has a window of poin- settias in bloom during the win ter months, tells us that when the leaves drop off after flower ing she places the plant in basement, giving water only 'casionally. In May or .Tune, she cuts stems back to about five or . inches, repots the plant and puts it outdoors for the -summer months, watering it.very little. "The slips that are cut off will grow and make very fine little plants,” says Mrs. Allison. When the nights begin to get cool in the autumn she brings the plants indoors and puts them in a west window. "If they grow too tall or are ungainly in ap pearance I trim them,” she states. A small, inconspicuous yellow flower is produced at the tip of the stem and the lance-shaped leaves at the top of the stem are bright crimson while the lower ones are green. Because of their brilliant coloring they are much in demand as Christ mas decoration. From a magazine we read that the poinsettia must have 12 hours of complete darkness, free' from, even artificial light, if the plant is to bloom for Christmas. Mrs. Allison says she has not tried that stunt "It is quite a task to move all the plants from the window into the dark every night,” The beauty of the flowers makes the effort of caring for them worth while.
