Poinsettia Shows
Season’s Colors.

Showing the colors of
Christmas; red and green, the
tropical poinsettia adorns
many homes at the holiday
Season. Though it is now a
favorite holiday houseplant,
the poinsettia is a relative
newcomer to the customs of
Christmas.

It was discovered by, and
later named for, Joel R. Poin-
sett. When he was Serving as
U.S. minister to Mexico in
1828, Dr. Poinsett sent a cut-
ting of the plant to a friend.

Growers became interested,
but it was not until 1906 that
the poinsettia was marketed.

& 27 Ibs.

For holiday season ga-
therings, you might mystify
your friends with the fol-
lowing little trick:

Ask someone to write
down a five-figure num-
ber and then after looking
wise and thoughful, state
what the total will be after
four more five-figure num-
bers have been added to the
first,

Proceed as follows:

five figure number, Say

(b) You look thoughtful and
then state that after four

added, the total will be
