Christmas Flowers
10 Be Seen in Show
Al Botanic Garden
Poinsettios, CycIomen
In Full Bloom for
Annual Event

The second annual Christmas
flower show of the United States
Botanic Garden will be open to the
public Sunday from 9 am. to pm.
In the exhibition conservatory on
First street between Maryland and
Independence avenues.
More than 1900 pots of poinset-
tias, with an average of six plants
to a pot, are now being placed in
the conservatory. They are all in
luxuriant bloom. In another week
or 10 days the show will be aug
mented by approximately 1000 cy-
clamen plants in full color, both
flower and leaf. All these plants
have been grown in the Botanic
Garden hothouses at Second street
between Maryland and Independ-
ence avenues, and at the Poplar
Point nursery, Anacostla.
: Attendants of the Botanic Gar
den will be on duty throughout the
show to explain to visitors how
these Christmas plants can be
, grown in homes. William A. Fred
(. erick, who represents Congress in
e direct administration of the Botanic
8 Garden, as an expert botanlst,
! pointed out that the polnsettia is
I named after George Poinsett, who
was Consul to Mexico, where these
plants grow wild and are used as
4 hedges, and who introduced them
. into the United States. The Botanic
Garden poinsettias are not of the
mature and sturdy growth attained
in the wild state in Mexico, but are
succulent cuttings and generally
used for one year only However,
many persons have been success
full in keeping their Christmas
plants from year to year. The Bo-
tanic Garden officials hope to en-
courage home owners to grow their
own poinsettias.
The large red terminal leaves,
generally considered to be the
flower, are not so in fact, Mr.. Fred
erick points out. There are several
varieties in which these terminal
leaves are pink or white. The hearts
of the flower are small, about the
size of a bean. The stamens are
small, about one quarter of an inch
> In diameter, golden in color, and IN
: a cluster about the size of a silver
: dollar. The red leaves are the frul-
> ton of growth.
. Americans in the temperate zone
> have come to recognize the poin-
. settia as the typical Christmas
flower because of its flaming red
. color-the color most desirable Tor
. the Christmas season.
Before the poinsettias have I'M
ished blooming, the cyclamen, IN
rich bloom and in deep or delicate
shades-white, cerese, red, magenta,
pink, orchid-will he added to the
exhibition. The cyclamen is some
times known as "the Christmas or
child" and some of the larger and
ragged-edged blooms closely re-
semble the more costly aristocrat OF
the flower kingdom. The native
habitat of the cyclamen is in Cen
tral and Southwestern Europe,
especially in the hills of France and
Spain.
The plants to be on display in
the Botanic Garden conservatory
are the result of hybridization from
wild types brought to high perfect
ton with a great variety not only
in structure and coloring of the
bloom, but in leaf coloring and
structure,

Vanderbilt Cecil, now 9, and grew
more and more to love Biltmore
and the hills.
MRS. CECIL QUITS
Seven years ago Mrs. Cecil de-
serted Biltmore, keeping reluc-
family to the provision in the will
of her father, that she must spend
six months of the year there or
lose her inheritance. Lawyers,
even now, are squabbling about
that will.
She had found something in
Europe that stirred her more than
her husbands devotion, her mag
nificent freedom at Biltmore, her
children, or anything else she had
known.
When friends inquired where
she was-they found her in a com
Portable studio on the fringe OF
New York's Greenwich Village
at No. II Gramercy Park-study-
ing art.
Had she then-or just before
then-met Guy Baer?
Nobody seems to know.
-Four years ago Mrs. Cecil went
quietly to Paris and obtained a
divorce.
NO HINT OF SCANDAL
It was remarked at the time
that this was most unusual di-
vorce- that it had no hint of
scandal about it-that it named
no woman as having won her hus-
bands heart-and named no man
as interloper who destroyed Bilt-
more's peace. 1t was just a ora
spectacle divorce" And it made
hardly ripple on the placid calm
of society.
But, today, as they put those
questions to Mrs. Cecil Baer while
Baer himself is strolling the quiet
streets of Vevey-well, today
there are plenty of questions being
asked!
At last there is another Wander
bilt cause celebre!

G.N.S0.-Conquest of fog at air
