Cherry: The Christmas Cherry is long-lasting and less delicate than either Begonias or Poinsettias thriving well in a cooler temper- ture and withstanding greater Sariations of temperature. During simmer it can be planted in the open garden. Delayed slightly in getting un- der way due to wet weather which made travelling off the paved roads difficult, shopping rolled to a. peak on the two days immed- iately before Christmas with many merchants, particularly those handling items suitable for last minute gifts, finding their shelves almost bare when they closed down. While on Christmas Eve they had not had time to make accurate comparisons with former years, retail merchants in general de- clared the Christmas season to be one of the best in recent history. Christmas Business Good Local Merchants Report 'Additional emphasis on the vol- ume of increased trade was given by the Canadian National Express Company which reported that both incoming and outgoing shipments were ten to fifteen per cent above the previous year. Obviously trying to avoid possible delays, which actually did not occur, through the mails many people turned to express in order to en- sure rapid delivery. Sometimes I think the Seasons are changing. Anyway the wells should be all filled up now and the odd little trickle comes in our cellars. Last week I rolled the lawn. Don’t know if I did any good, but anyway I meant well and the book says rolling is good for condition. Greetings Everybody!
