to live
F lo w e rin g plants brought
into your home during the
holiday season want to live—
and they will if given a chance.
Success
depends
upon
knowing something about the
plant's growth habit in the
n atu ral
environm ent and
providing the same conditions
inside a house.
Wilbur W Burkhart, area
extension agent, suggests
careful examination of each
kind of plant for a florist tag
bearing care instructions
rather than assuming that all
plants being used inside a home
are alike
By following the directions
for w a te rin g , room te m ­
perature, feeding and special
considerations, the plants will
last many months
Some perennials continue to
grown and will bloom again
next year as a reward for
feeding, prevention of insects
and disease and giving the
roots a larger container filled
with a new soil mexture.
Burkhart cited the poinsettia
as an example of a plant that
enjoys
m o derately w arm
conditions inside a home when
watering is done often enough
to keep the soil moist to touch.
In almost total contrast to the
poinsettia, the cyclamen will
begin to show yellow foliage
and die when subjected to the

by setting the pot in a shallow
dish of water and is mo6t happy
when the temperature is 55-60
degrees during the day with a
drop of ten degrees during the
night.
Buds continue to develop and
the plant shows many blooms
rest
Complete dry-out for several
months provides the recovery
period when growth may be
again stimulated by watering
and feeding.
Most flowering plants enjoy
tem peratu res below those
found in the average home.
Keeping the living items of
beauty cooler ra th e r than
warmer is often the lacking key
to success.

A bobcat won’t normally
attack a wolf, but one did
recently up on Mt. Hood.
The victim was a Wolf with
the first name Jim, a math
teacher and baseball coach at
Reynolds High School.
It was a cold November
night—about 11 o’clock—when
Wolf and his friend Charlie
Lake, the outside manager of

Lake's chickens so he had set
the trap with plans to relocate

Lake and Wolf took along a 6-

company and a dim m ing
lantern for light.
Lake, a real mountain man
who once had a pet rattlesnake
and two cub bears for pets,
slipped a noose around the neck
of the captured bobcat, handed
the wire to Wolf, and led the
way with the lantern.
The wire was stiff enough and
Wolf’s arm was long enough to

New Year's Tip.
Is the fire insurance on your
house keeping up with its in­
creasing value? The Insurance
Information Institute estimates
that at least one in four U.S.
homes is not adequately in­
sured.
Now, while you are going
over family financial affairs for
the coming year, is the time to
check the coverage on your
house.
