Besides preserving the foliage, the waterglass spray adds to the decorative effect of the spruce by leaving a slight stiver sheen to the green of the needle-lik- e leaves. The waterglass also has been found to be a good fire retardant The college found that the shedding of spruce leaves also can be retarded by placing the base of the tree In a bucket of moist earth, peat moss or water.

The tree graciously bowed down so that Mary could pick the fruit herself. It has been customary among the Czechs and Slovaks to take the branch of a cherry tree and place it In water in the late fall so that the buds reach the blossoming stage at Christmas time.
