The legend and a poem on the poinsettlas appears in the following paragraphs as taken from the article in the Dallas Journal. THE POINSETTIA By Nancy Richcy Like glowing flames, by sacred tinders lit, The bright poinsettias shine along the way That' Christmas came. Now they will bank their fires And fan to flame another Christmas Day. High Juclean hills their blooms first glowed To warm the waiting shepherds in the night, While Wise Men hastened into Bethlehem, And starry skies were filled witn holy light. As long- ago they warmed these humble folk, And banished awed bewilderment and fear, So now they brighten weary, burdened hearts, And proffer courage for a glaa New Year.

These red leaves seem to rr-acn their most -vivid state Christmas. The south claims the poinsettia as its true Cliristmas 'lower, but it is used throi.ighivuc the north and east as well. This plant is a membar of the spurge family, a native of Mexico and of South America. It is a veritable tree in its native haunts, the bright red leaves often measuring twenty inches in length. In South Texas the poinsettia rises to the housetops, adding Its crimson glory to the neutral tints -of the walls and roofs.

Extreme will kill the out-of-door poinsec- tia, but if the plant is cut down and banked, new shoots will appear in the spring. Slips and cuttings can be rooted in damp sana, ii covered with a glass jar. Many persons who receive gor- B'eous poinsettlas at Christinas are eager to keep them for another season, and may be glad to know the florists' method. After the plants finish flowering they ars laid on their sides under a bench in a cellar, to dry. Early in May they are repotted and given plenty of heat and water to produce a new growth.

When the plants become tco dry the leaves fall out. The poinsettia gives of a milky sap when cut. the brilliant bracts will drop and wither unless this flow is stopped. The best method is to burn the mds so the stems, or ta dip them in hot water Sometimes are clipped in paraffin. The imme noinsettla was given honor of Dr.
