That popular Chriitmai plant, the poinsettia, need not be discarded when the holiday is over. The right care can keep it in condition for blooming again next year. Horticulture specialists say you need not be alarmed about dropping leaves. Leaf dropping simply means the plant is going into its normal rest period, which lasts until about May 1, After the leaves fall, put the plant in a cool place—4o to 50 degrees — and water sparingly. About May 1. cut the plant back quite heavily, to remove excess wood and make it more shapely. Shake off the old soil and repot in a mixture of three parts garden loam, one part well-rotted manure and one part leafmold. Use a pot just large enough to hold the mass of roots without crowding and still provide good drainage. Water enough to keep the soil from drying out In about another month, when weather is warm, set the potted plant outdoors, submerging the pot in the soil at ground level or a little below. Put it in full sunshine unless the weather is very hot In that case, give it light shade. When nights cool in the fall, put it in a window where there is good light and air and where temperature is about 60 to 68 degrees, but with no draft Water regularly so the soQ never dries out and use a little liquid fertilizer every week. Long nights, uninterrupted by even a shaft of artificial light are needed to bring the poinsettia inte flower. Grandfather Frost Is Russian Santa Christmas in Russia? Behind the Iron Curtain It’s Grandfather Frost who delights the children. Grandfather Frost (really an actor from the Moscow stage) was revived by the Russians two years ago. Through most of the month of January thousands of Russian children dance around a fir tree in St George’s Hall and may shake hands with Grandfather Frost, the Russian Santa .Claus. Grand! alheFFrost entertains the children with the aid of singers, dancers and variety artists from the theaters. Last year, for the first time, American correspondents were admitted to the Kremlin to see one of the gatherings.
