Washington, Dec. 23-New expert
nents with poinsettias made here this
winter by Charles p. Madsen, chem
;st, are destined to increase the en-
,oyment of this Christmas flower.
Concerned because this most glo-
rious of all winter-flowering plants"
rarely lasts more than a few weeks
and often only few days in the aver
age home, Mr.. Madsen set to work to
see if he could apply his knowledge of
chemistry to stimulate growth, den
sity of color and length of blooming
period.
Not only has he produced poinsettias
20 inches in diameter which, he be-
lieves, set record for size in this part
of the country, but he has obtained
more than twice the number of plants
Department of Agriculture experts
said could come from parent plant
and thus has paved the way for lower
prices.
Some of Mr.. Madsens plants were
grown without soil, in a mixture of
sand, peatmoss and chemical foods,
after the cuttings had been treated
with Indol-Buteric Acid to stimulate
roofing. Chemicals were applied to
increase celebration.
Because a poinsettia's leaves turn
yellow and drop, it does not mean the
plant is dying, but merely that it is
going into a state of dormancy pre-
maturely, Mr. Madsen says. To each

of his plants he has attached card
telling how the arrival of dOrmancy
may be postponed.
Emphasizing that plants behave diff
ferently in different climates, Mr..
Madsen is not certain the rules he has
deduced from his experiment will ap-
ply everywhere, though he believes
they may be of some help to all poin-
settia owners.

MANY COL0RS FOR
1888 AUTO PLATES
License Fees Vary in Many
States; Are High in
North Carolina

While touches of color may brighten
the highways through use of rainbow
hues and variations thereof in 1888
license plates on motor vehicles,
motorists will still pay substantial
fees for the privilege of operating
their vehicles, according to the Caro-
lima Motor Club.
Although North and South Caro-
lima plates are almost the same color
and the gas tax rate the same, there
is a vast difference in license plate
fees. South Carolina fees range from
S1.6O for cars under 1000 pounds to
$3.50 for cars up to 5000 pounds. The
North Carolina fees range from $500
minimum to $3.50 for 5000 pound
automobile.
The 1888 parade of color in license
plates as announced by the Carolina
Motor Club, will form about as fol-
lows:
