Treot Evergreens To Make Them Last Washington - (UPIt - Treat your Christmas evergreens - especially holly - so they will last longer. Mash or crush the lough, woody branch ends and place them for a couple of days in a quart ot water mixed wun tablespoon of brown sugar. This will give the branches a chance to absorb enough moisture to remain fresh through the holidays, reports the Society of American Flor ists. Other tips from the society, - Groom green plants. Wipe dust gently from the leaves with a damp cloth. Snip off any yellowing or orying leaves. If philodendron corda- tum vines are spindly, pinch off the ends 'of the vines. - If a post lamp lights the way to the front door, doco rate with Christmas greens and cones. Ditto for fences. - Doll up the mail box with greens or hollies, extending a holiday greeting to the post man, guests and passing mo torists.

Meat should be roasted at a low temperature, 300 degrees for beef, veal, lamb and smoked pork; 350 degrees for fresh pork. Searing does not keep in the juices but actually increases the cooking losses.
