pear trees and run them in a
variety of interesting pat

that visitors look up at some
trees ahd straight ahead at
others. The Longwood staff
began stringing the lights for

Display, along with red
Rieger begonias and a new
Rieger cultlvar,
“Limelight." which has
white flowers tinged with
green. The polnsettlas are
grown at Longwood
especially for the Christmas
display, and some are very
different from those sold in
florists shops at Christmas.

servatory's vast dimensions
(the glass ceiling is well over
thirty feet above the floor) a
number of extremely tall
plants are grown, their red
and white “flowers" raised
on four-foot stems above the
Conservatory’s green lawns.
In a small house near the
Main Conservatory,
Longwood’s Department of
Educations has arranged a
