Dear Fellow Gardener:

Here’s How To Keep Your Poinsettia Alive and Get It To Rebloom

I used to grow several greenhouses full of these plants for Christmas and this book passes along the things I’ve learned over the years.  I’ll tell you how to pick the right poinsettia at the store and how to get it home safely.
