a small but important class of berried 

 plants. 



The requisites of the Christmas flow- 

 ering plant are brightness and a rea- 

 sonable degree of durability. Red is, 

 of course, the Christmas color, but 

 bright pink will do. The advantage 

 of the Christmas plant is that it can 

 be sold from sample at a known price 

 with certainty of delivery; this is not 



true of cut flowers. So hearty has been 

 the welcome given to Christmas plants 

 by the retailers all over the country 

 that today there are places that de- 

 vote almost their entire space to their 

 production, reserving only enough to 

 hold the stock for Easter and spring. 

 The poinsettia, with its cheerful red 

 bracts, gives us the ideal Christmas 

 color at a price that brings it within 



reach of everyone. There were diffi- 

 culties in the culture of the poinsettia 

 to be overcome. It did not root easily 

 and it dropped its leaves. Culture has 

 overcome both defects. This season 

 the Eobert Craig Co., Philadelphia, 

 largest grower of poinsettias, has 

 doubled its output. The poinsettia is 

 popular made up in pans edged with 

 small ferns or with asparagus.
