TWO .MEDFORD (OREGON) Christmas Flower Vill Bloom Again If Care Correct Corvallis Poinsettias used to brighten homes this Christ mas can be made to bloom again next year if the plants receive proper light and temperature re quirements. R. Ralph Clark, Oregon State couege extension horticulturist, says that once the nlant has bloomed, the red leaves will he- gin to fall after a week or two nd the plant enters a rest per iod. It should then be stored In a cool place, in a basement or gar age, where it won't freeze, and watered a little about once ev ery two or three weeks to keep it alive. In the spring, the poinsettia should be pruned so that a few main limbs are left to start new growth, planted in well drained ; gardens oil, and left there for ; the summer. Shortened days of fall and winter then signal the plant to prepare itself for bloom. Plant can be brought indoors in the fall and left to continue growth . atn ormal periods of day and night. It is also important to - keep them out of drafts and at ' temperatures of 65-70 degrees. Pomsettias develop "bloom" when the days are short and the nights are long. Short periods of : night caused by periods of ex posure to artificial lights, how ever, interfere with blooming. . Night lights lengthen the day, and the plant continues to act as though it is summer. Maintenance of normal days andn ights according to the sea- - sons help time the plant mech anism to bloom during the holi- day season, Clark points out. Blooming period of plants al ready in "bloom" can also be lengthened by keeping the plant - away from artificial light at night. "Bloom" of poinsettia is brightly colored leaves that sur round tiny creamy white flow-firs.

Unlike most pancake recipes, two tablespoons of light syrup are added to liquid ingredients to help in browning.
