They have matured in time to make a gay showing for city folks. If you have a festive Christmas wreath decorated with partridge berries plant them in a pot of soil, keep them watered and in a warm place, and see what thrifty little plants you have by next Spring. Plant them out in your garden or give them to a friend who has just the right place for them. Your bird friends will thank you later on. Not until next June or July can you look for the white, fragrant flowers of this plant. They are found at the tip of the stem—twins. And twin red berries will be found in the same spot later on. These berries you will notice have eight calyx teeth, which were formed by the seed boxes of the twin flowers sticking together. The un- opened buds are always pink, the flowers white. The small leaves are veined in greenish-white. They are round and shiny, growing opposite on the stem, and are evergreen. This does not mean they never drop off and are aged. They are replaced when too old to gather in fresh air and sun- shine for the mother plant. Leaves, as you know, are day and night ‘workers. The partridge berry is & member of the Madder family. It has been a friend since time began to the mi- grating birds, and also to the small animals in its vicinity. Besides, it has on many occasions furnished food for its human brother, who perchance be- came lost in the woods. For a bit of beauty in your garden, try planting some partridge berries about large rocks, or perhaps you are lucky and have & Loulder over which the happy little plant may creep. In years to come you will have a rich, deep green carpet with bright red decorations through it during the Winter and Spring. These will be re- placed by fragrant white ones.
