Other natural materials may be
added, such as pine cones, shells,

If color is to be added, paint the
gourds or pine cones with poster

striking when hung against a dark

prick your hand.
The ideal Christmas tree is the
fir. 1t resembles the spruce except
that its needles are not sharp. The
needles stay on the tree for a long
Itime, and become golden brown
before they finally drop off. Nee
dies of the Douglas fir are fiat and
soft to the touch. This popular tree
can be easily identified by examin-
ing the cones which have small ap-
pendages on each side.
Pines have never been very popu-
lar as Christmas trees, in spite of
the fact that they do not shed their
needles easily This is most likely
due to their unsymmetrical appear
ance which does not closely resem-
ole the traditional Christmas tree.
No matter what kind of Christmas
tree you select, it will hold its nee-
dies longer if it is standing in water.
Place a little water in the base Of
your tree stand and you will be both
cred less with falling needles than
you were last year.
