Plant a Living Christmas Tree 
A practice, well worth encouraging, is that of planting an Evergreen 
in the front yard not only for general decorative effect but also for spe¬ 
cial use during Christmas Season. An Evergreen decorated with colored 
lights is an especially pleasing sight and vividly enhances the Christmas 
spirit. A drive through the residential sections of nearly any city during 
the evenings of the holiday season will forcibly convince you of the 
advantages of such a planting. We recommend Norway Spruce, Colorado 
Spruce and Balsam Fir for this purpose.
