H ~POINSETTIA

The poinsettia takes its name
from a famous South Carolina nat
~uralist, DR.. Joel R. Foinsett, who
was born about the time of the
Revolution and died in Charleston
in 1851. DR.. Poinsett introduced
the plant into America from the
Orient, where it has long grown
luxuriantly. It is particularly
sought as a Christmas flower in
America because of it's brilliant red
petals, which are Of exactly the
same form and texture as the
green leaves. Poinsettia grows quite
satisfactorily in this climate as 9
ported plant. A little further south
it grows in the open, and frequent
ly reaches a height of IL to Il
feet.-Spartanburg Journal.

The effects of the recent rains
have been greater at Gregg Shoals
