Holiday
Plants And
Their Care
By ELEANOR ROSS

1T won't be so very long before
the colorful procession of holiday
plants, the lovely poinsettias, cycla-
mems, and azaleas, will be flowing in
colorful procession out of the
beautiful florists shops to lend their
beauty to the holiday scene in the
home.
The festive Christmas plant, re-
ceived with such Joy, usually doesn't
last very long. In many instances,
it doesn't even retain its beauty
through the holiday season. Flow
ers fade, leaves turn yellow, and,
out it goes!
Intelligent Care
So often it is possible to extend
the beauty season of these plants,
with just little understanding and
intelligent care. The florist who
grew the plants to the Towering
stage gave them professional care
of course, but although it is not al
ways possible to give the plants
ideal conditions in the home, much
can be done to approximate pro-
fessional care.
Dry air is probably the greatest
menace to the health of holiday
plants. The air of the greenhouses
in which the plants were grown, was
kept moist by spraying not only the
greenhouse walls, but even the
walks. In the home humidifer, or
even pans of water on the radiators,
will add the needed moisture to the
air.
Keep Plants
Fresh air is important, but don't
let cold air currents blow on the
plants. On cold nights, plants on
the window sill should be removed
or protected from the cold glass.
Most popular plant is the poinset-
tia, and its vivid red and beautiful
green color combination should be
around to give joy to the home for
longer than is usually the case. Do
not overwater this plant, the leaves
will soon droop and turn yellow.
Never stand the pot in saucer of
water. Place the poinsettia where
it will get some sun, but not too
close to window. If the plant has
chilled, the pot should be placed, up
to the rim, in pan of warm water.
No wet soil or. poor drainage for
the cyclamen if you want it to last |
while. While watering should be
moderate, it should be thorough.
When the cyclamen has finished |
blooming, it should not be dried off |
like the poinsettia, but should be
kept fairly moist and given plenty
of light until new growth appears.
Then the plant should be repotted
in a soil composed of loam, sand
and leaf mold in equal parts, with a
little fertilizer.

full day spent at Delphi. 1t led us to
retrace in retrospect the $50 miles
between Athens and Delphi, a won-

interest, every mile of it. In ancient
times the road was covered on
horseback or by chariot. They went
up from the Gulf of Corinth on foot,
for chariots could not climb the
steep mountain to Delphi.
The city of the oracle is situated
OIL the slope of Mount Parnassus,
high, very high, but with the noun

or more. There is a good auto road
up to Kastri, town near Delphi.

The view from Delphi is magnifi-
