NEW YORK, Nov. 81 (AP)
Bob Cousy sparked the Gel
tics to a spine-tingling 128-127
victory over the New York
Knicks tonight before 1926
at Madison Square Garden.
Cousy drove the Knicks dizzy
with a 32-point scoring out
burst and some fancy dribbling
in the final 20 seconds of play
when he put on a one-man
freeze to seal the victory. He
scored nine field goals in 10
tries and converted IA consec-
utive free throws. The former
Holy Cross All-America was
given a standing ovation at the

cred shingle that could serve
as a base, and a group of little
terra Gotta owls which seem
just whimsical enough Gin their
owlish way) to understand
what old Mr.. Confucius meant.
The esthetic image becomes
clear.
Leof ConceoIs Stick
The weightlessness Of the
plant material offers oppor-
tunity for ingenuity in the me-
chanics of arranging. The
leaves are more or less Of the
same length. and in order to
establish a suitable height for
the container I elongate the
two largest leaves by tying
them to a stick with twistum.
A third leaf conceals this me-
chanical aid. I now select a
funnel-shaped. leaf and cut of
the thick stem end. This little
tube stands firmly in the wire
container. The first and
talleSt leaf group is slipped
vertically into this tube. The
strong stems Of additional
leaves are simply pushed into
this leaf funnel at any desired
angle.
Fine horizontal lines are the
obvious pattern Of the lettuce
basket. Additional leaves are
arranged in a rhythmic descent
from left to right creating q
transition between the vertical
leaves and the horizontal pat
tern Of the basket. Different
planes and an easy flow of
lines now make a pleasing
composition.
Neutral Groy Base
The weathered base intro
duceS a neutral gray to the
color scheme. This addition
asks for a slight repetition OF
gray up in the arrangement. A
few dried f1eld-thiStles not only
produce it but repeat the form
of the basket as well. The
terra Gotta color of the figure
repeats the color of the leaves
thus relating the accessory
harmoniously to the general
movement and outline.
The eyes usually follow the
most obvious linear movement
within the design of a floral
composition before they follow
the outline or silhouette. Line
and form, texture and pattern
as well as color, can each create
in their own specific way visual
beauty. These are helpmates
to the arranger without which
creative expression would bC
impossible.

Watering Is Problem

Watering is a big problem
with the Christmas plants.
Most of them when received
are "pot-bound" and need fire.
duent but light watering. The
woody plants such as the azal-
ca, Skimmia, Ardisia, etc., need
more water than the violets,
gloxinia and cyclamen. But,
Evening star., 1959-12-13

this is a relative term and will
vary from room to room within
the house as well as between
houses.
Plants in active growth need
more water than those in a
Semi-resting period And, be-
cause over-watering is usually
the cause of lack of thrift, it
should be done carefully.
Whether the plants are
watered from above or below
is unimportant-both methods
should be used occasionally to
flush out any accumulation of
salts in the soil.
If watered from above the
water should be applied until
it runs out the drainage hole in
the bottom of the pot. Discard
the excess that does drain out.
If watered from below fill
the saucer with about enough
water to be absorbed within
three or four hours, provided
it is taken up and moistens the
top surface.
Most of the Christmas plants
resent being exposed to chilling
draughts and thus it is not ad-
visable to place them where the
cold air from opened doors will
strike them. This is particu-
larly noticeable with the poin-
settia which will usually drop
its lower leaves. Lack of water
as we'll as sudden changes in
temperature are the other
major causes of defoliation.

Christmas plants, If we may
use that term, are a part of the
traditional holiday season and
everyone looks forward to hav-
ing one or more Towering or
fruiting plants to provide the
seasonal touch.
Some. such as the poinsettia,
the Number l Christmas flower,
is widely available in all sizes
and in several colorS.
The snowy aZaleaS, especially
the double-fl -flowered ones which
resemble rosebuds, are some
what easier to handle under
modern living conditions.
The CHEEKY Jerusalem cherry
and Christmas pepper do not
take kindly to our modern
homes and seem to be declining
in popularity. Perhaps we
might recognize the problems
of plant culture in such changed
environment and try to select
those best adapted to our
homes. If that is not desirable.
then we might take a few small
but important steps so that the
plants will thrive in spite of
the household conditions.
The poinsettia, cyclamen
Christmas begoniaS, chrysan-
themumS, Kalanchoe, and
heather are grown under humid
conditions in the greenhouses
and when brought into the dry
atmosphere Of the modern
home receive a severe shock.
Sometimes they do not survive
and deteriorate rapidly, which
OF course means they soon be-
come an eye-sore and are dis
carded. In homes where there
is controlled humidity this is
not apt to happen with any
ordinary degree Of care.
Type Of COntainer
Without humidity control in
the house the plant grower
might keep his potted plants
on a gravel-fllled container
shallow pan, or even in a
Jardiniere. The contalner
should have water at all times
but no higher than just below
the top Of the gravel. In this
way the pots do not touch the

You Can Create
Beauty
With Flowers
Dried Leaf Materials
BY MRS. HERBERT H. GREGI

ConfuciuS said, Everything
has its beauty, but not every
one sees it."
Today's composition deals
with some free gifts of nature
which have the marks of great
beauty but which are usually
unobserved. 7 have in mind
the large, beautifully formed,
exquisitely colored and finely
textured dried leaves, which
one may gather in gardens or
established nurseries beneath
the deciduous Magnolia ma
crophylla. This tree sheds all
its leaves every autumn. They
have the loveliest light brown
color, some are phantastically
curved and curled, giving great
variety of form, of pattern, Of
light and shadow effects. Tex
turally they are brittle, so that
they should be handled like
goSsamer.
The beauty and eye appeal
Of the leaves is strong and it
seems right that the entire
composition be made only with
this single type. 1t offers every
thing for an interesting design.

hand. I wonder which con-
tainer might emphasize the in
