Rhyme in Season 
We trust this Christmas issue shows 
That you don't have to be verbose 
To put across a sound idea 
Especially this time of year. 
The many ornaments you see 
A-dangling from our Christmas tree 
Make gifts your loved ones will adore. 
(Of course we still have many more). 
Therefore this year instead of letting 
The time run out on present-getting, 
Come see us now and welll endeavor 
To help you find the bestest ever! 
And so, without much more ado, 
We all combine in wishing you 
A great amount of Christmas cheer, 
Good health, good luck throughout next 
year.

The yuletide finds spikes formed and flow- 
ers opening on CYMBIDIUM ORCHIDS, 
making this popular and beautiful plant an 
ideal gift for favored names on your gift 
list. The sprays of flowers (a dozen or two 
to a spike!) will remain on the plant from 
six to ten weeks, or they may be cut for 
indoor arrangements or corsages where 
they are also long-lived. Now that their 
culture is better understood, they may be 
grown out of doors with less care and 
success than many another more common 
garden flower. Coming in a wide range 
of pastels, bronzes, greens, with variations 
and combinations of these, they make an 
impressive gift of lasting beauty and ever- 
increasing abundance of flower. 
Evans and Reeves has a splendid collec- 
tion of SUCCULENTS of specimen quality 
ideal for gifts during the holiday season. 
The astounding size, coloration, variety 
and flower of this unusual group of plants 
has brought them into new prominence in 
recent years, and much use has been made 
of them as in contemporary plantings or as 
focal points in patio and lanai groupings. 
The ECHEVERIA ROSEA GRANDIS pic- 
tured, attains a foot and one half in di- 
ameter, and annually sends forth long spikes 
of brilliantly colored, long-lasting flowers 
from the rosette of grey-green and smol- 
dering rose leaves. It is only one of many 
and varied types of succulents to comple- 
ment and accent the gardens of your 
friends. Attractive specimen containers 
available also.
