THE YELLO 
VOL. 3, NO. 2 
November was almost as pleasant 
as October usually is. First light 
frost of the season fell the night of 
November 5, and almost every night 
thereafter. But a volunteer Tomato 
plant growing close against the wall 
on the south side of my office and 
protected by wide eaves, was not 
killed until night of December 13. 
Grass still green. 
The woods were lovely through 
November, but Oak leaves falling 
now and people flouting one of 
God's good gifts by burning them.

THE LEGEND OF THE 
DOGWOOD 
Ruth Mooney, Seligman, Mo. 
The way the story goes, in the 
beginning, the Dogwood grew 
straight and tall, a fine tree and was 
used to fashion the cross on which 
Jesus was crucified. 
After this it was so bowed down 
in shame, that, to make it feel less 
badly, God promised that never 
again would it be used for such a 
purpose. So ever since it has grown 
small and gnarly. 
The flower is shaped in the form 
of a cross with the nail prints and 
blood stains showing. 
Why is the Red Bud called the 
Judas tree? 
The old legend is that Judas 
hanged himself on a Red Bud tree.

HAWORTHIAS 
Mrs. E. J. Peterson, 
Eagle Bend, Minn. 
An opportunity to have Ha- 
worthias for a subject to write 
about pleases me a good deal, since 
they are my favorite succulent. They 
are native to South Africa, and are

worth. They seem to etait caves 
ites of every one that grows them, 
due to their very neat appearance, 
and their adaptability to available 
window speace. They seem to adapt 
themselves to any light, and_ still 
retain their lovely form. 
Some have what is called “‘win- 
dows’’ in tip of leaves; others what 
is called “‘Eve lashes.’’ Also one 
called “‘lace.’’ Some varieties seem 
to be covered with seed pearls. One 
is called “frosted zebra’ for com- 
mon name. Some have very plump 
pale green succulent leaves, while 
others are dark green and rough 
like. Some have long and narrow 
leaves, while others are short and 
stubby. All so very attractive and 
easy to grow, and they grow in 
stemless rosette form, so they do 
not become ‘leggy’ like some 
plants. 
Due to their small size quite a 
number may be grown in a small 
space, since some varieties are so 
elusive and difficult to obtain, they 
are ideal to specialize in. They seem 
to enjoy a rather rich soil. I use the 
following mixture: 
114 1-lb. coffee can leaf mould. 
Vy 1-lb. coffee can ordinary gar- 
den soil. 
V4 1-lb. coffee can sand. 
1 cup well rotted cow manure. 
1 cup charcoal.
