A picturesque shrub especially useful at
this time of the year IL the holly, with its
tough and shining spnous leaves and its
pretty little. full round berries. 1t Is the
only plant appropriate tot this happy .eridd
that relieves tho dead green and monoto

the days that follow Epiphany Like the
nhstletoe, most of tie holly exposed for
sale in American STARTS comes from Great
Britain. although sone species of the plant
grow in the southern states.
The commercial holly, however, is cut
in Scotland and sent here in bags. 1t is
most valuable to work up In combination
with laurel, ivy and mistletoe into
wreaths, anchors, stars, crowns and other
ecclesiastical designs, while for running
decorations-that Is, long fcstoons and
great sweeps Of green-A few Of the bright
red berries wound In at regular intervals

"You have certain work TO do aud you

"Well, that's something like it, said
