Poinsettia pointers There arc some medical and plant experts who think old Ebeneezer Scrooge must have start ed the story sometime before that memorable Christmas Dickens wrote about. It’s the fable that still pops up oncc-in-aw'htle this time of year about some mysterious danger that lurks in the most popular o f all Christmas flowering plants, the poinsettia. An office of the U.S. Government, leading research scien tists, and the people of the American C o n t i n u e d C o u n t y A t t o r n e y ally county employees, met w'lth the County Commissioners before tak ing this step against Malagtsi At that time there were assured some action would be taken and that the Commissioners would address the situation, eourt papers note Sweet Grass County Commissioner Lloyd Berg told the Pioneer Wednesday he did not want to comment as the situation is a per sonal matter and Malagisi has a right to privacy. The Commissioners and other county officials, plus Yost and Association of Nurserymen might very well summarize their findings on the matter with Scrooge's tradi tional words: \Ball humbug!” Here is what spokesmen for the U.S Department of Health.

Week of December 19-25, 2003 — BIG TIMBER (MT) PIONEER — Page 7 O b i t u a r y tummy from eating poinsettias— ir all sorts of things a little person ought not to eat. But poisonous'’ Bah. humbug! This holiday season, as for many Christmases past, more than 25 million poinsettia plants will dec orate American homes. Be sure yours has the right amount of light and water. An easy rule o f thumb is to place the plant in a room with enough natural light to permit a per son with reasonable eyesight to read fine print. Avoid direct sunlight. As for water, poinsettias appreciate quite a bit. When the soil feels dry to the touch, give the plant a drink, but remove excess water afterwards Relax and enjoy your poinset tias—one of nature’s friendliest, loveliest gifts for Yulctidc.
