Tips for
the tree
The nicest Christmas
present you can give your­
self and your family is
an easy-to-take-care-of,
fresh and fragrant llve-
cut Christmas tree.
Be sure to start with a
fresh tree When shopping
around, run these two
simple checks First, bend
the needles on the tree;
if they are pliant, the tree
is fresh Then, gently tap
the base of the tree against
the ground A fresh tree
will hold its needles fast,
avoid one with cascading
needles!
When you get the tree
home, keep it outdoors, if
possible, until you're ready
to set it up for decorating
Immediately saw off about
one inch on the diagonal
from the tree trunk This
eliminates clotted resins
that form at the base of
the tree which could block
It from absorbing water
Place the tree In a buck­
et of water mixed with
Prolong'«« Christmas Tree
Preserver — the proper
ratio is one capful Prolong
to each cup (8 ounces) of
water Prolong Increases
the water absorption and
"feeds" the tree necessary
nutrients and carbohy­
drates Spray the tree with
water often.
Once brought Inside for
decorating, the tree should
be placed away from heat­
ers and out of traffic areas
Secure it in a water-hold­
ing stand and watch the
water-Prolong level care­
fully. A tree may absorb
as much as a gallon of
water a day
One idea that will fur­
ther simplify the tree’s
day-to-day upkeep: try to
use unbreakable Christ­
mas bulbs, at least around
the bottom of the tree. It
will reduce the Incidence
of bulb breakage, prevent
the children from getting
scratched and keep the
sweeping chores to a mini­
mum
