For maximum life and appearance from a cut tree, the Christmas Tree Growers' Association suggests trees be placed in a bucket of water outside or in a cool place until ready

to be decorated.

When it is time to bring the tree indoors for decorating, make a cut across the trunk about one inch above the original one. This is especially important if a sealer has been applied to the tree. Keep the cut surface completely covered with water at* all times. Trees can absorb up to a p4*t of water a day so they sltould be checked andx.

watered often

Following these instructions will keep the tree moist and fragrant, reduce needle drop and maintain tree color.

As a safety item, check all electrical lighting fixtures to make sure there are no exposed wires that could start a fire. Keep the tree away from heat and

flame .
