the plant known as Poinsettia pulcher-
rima. Botanists nowadays call it
EuphOrbia, but it will always retain
its old name POinsettia, among garden
ers and garden lovers. Even the
souvenir postal card has taken posses
sion of the plant and its name, and
many hundreds of the cards are an
nually sent to Northern friends dis
seminating the name and the correct
| cOlOred picture of the plants to every
quarter of the globe. In the old POin-
| settia the incOnspicuous flower clusters
| are surrounded by several floral leaves
| or bracts, each three to four inches
| in length, and of the most intense
scarlet imaginable. When l say that
the double POinSettia has not only
the original series of bracts, but that
the center, ordinarily occupied by the
flowers. is filled up with hundreds of
smaller bracts upon short stems, di-
minishing in size until the smallest are
only an inch long, plant lovers will
see that here is treasure indeed.
This remarkable plant was discovered
by the indefatigable collector, ROezl,
who found it in the early seventies of
the last century, in a small Indian vii
lage in the Mexican state of Guerrero,
May 1879. He modestly said, that
no bOtanist or florist would believe
his description of this magnificent
plant; but he brought dried specimens,
which were examined by various ex-
perts, among them, by the editor of
the American Agriculturist," who
says that Herr Roezl was within
bounds when he stated that the ''flow-
er-cluster' is often IA to 1S inches in
According to Mr.. Roezl, the smallest
bracts are scarlet tinged with violet,
and the flowers in Mexico last from
December until April.
The original Poinsettia is a brilliant
plant, with the leaves near the flower
taking on all the delicacy and brillian-

spot in which the flowers themselves
are superseded by clusters of bracts,
making it about as different from the
normal sort as a caulifower is differ
ent from a cabbage.
This is an exceedingly valuable plant
for our Semi-trOpical gardens. No
other plant can vie with it in gorgeous
brilliancy, particularly when massed
together, and it therefore, should large
ly be planted. The large bracts can
be used in all kinds of bouquets, and
as dinner table decorations. When |
saw the gorgeous display of a number
of specimens in Mr.. Aliens establish
ment in Orlando, | was struck with
its wonderful beauty and with the
immense head of bracts. The plant
attains the same height as our old
Poinsettia, but it is denSer in growth. |
and produces more ''hOwering heads"
of bracts. Mr.. Allen cultivates his |
plants in rich SOil-made rich by a |
very liberal addition of old COW ma
rure.

She is considerable of the happiness
of others, and 1t is reflected back to
her as from looking-glass.
She never permits herself to grow
old, for by cultivating all the graces Of
heart, brain and body age does not
come to her.
She awakes cheerfully in the morn
ing and closes her eyes thankfully at
night.
She believes that life has some SER
ious work to do, that the serious work
lies very close to the homely, every
day duties, and that kind words cost
nothing.
She is always willing to give sugges-
tons that will help some less fortu-
nate one over the bad places in life's
journey.
She is her own sweet, unaffected,
womanly self; therein lies the secret
of her popularity-of her success.
