Wreath History:
In America we recognize the evergreen wreath as a symbol of Christmas. We hang them on our front doors and display them in other parts of our homes, though no one seems to know the history of this custom. The abundance of live plants and greens was a natural source of supplies. Many ancient cultures have revered plants and especially evergreens. They have long been a symbol of divine energy. At some point in time, the wreath became a door and wall ornament. The materials chosen for the wreath said a lot about what the wreath meant. A wreath made of holly and mistletoe might be used to shelter a home from the spirits of cold and winter.
Even though the word wreath, is usually associated with Christmas, they are a form of decoration found in households all year. Some are used as a reflection of personal tastes or collections and some are reminders of special occasions. The vast resources we have today for dried herbs and flowers, as well as the fabulous assortment of artificial flowers and plants have given us limitless choices for materials. Today beautifully decorated wreaths are an integral part of Christmas holidays, as well as being decorated to fit every other season.

History of Pine Trees.
Pine Is an evergreen tree which has cones. It is a member of a large group of trees known as the pine family. The pine family includes other trees that have cones, such as the larch, spruce, hemlock and fir. The pine tree is one small part, or genus, of this family and has eighty different types or species.
All species of pine are usually divided into two main groups, according to the type of wood. Those trees that have a soft, light colored wood are called soft pines. Those that have a hard, dark colored wood are called pitch or hard pines. Most soft pines and pitch pines grow in abundance in North America.
The pine tree has a tall, straight trunk that sometimes reaches a height above 200 feet. The shape of the tree may be round or like a pyramid. The bark is usually thin and scaly. The leaves are shaped like needles and grow on small branches that stretch out from the tree. The leaves seldom grow singly. They usually grow in groups of two to five, called clusters. At the bottom of each cluster there is a scaly covering known as a sheath which covers the leaves. In soft pine trees, this sheath falls off as soon as the leaves develop. In the pitch pines, the sheath does not fall off until the leaves are shed. The cones on the tree, which bear the seeds between the scales, may be from one to eighteen inches long, depending upon the species of the pine.
The pine tree can grow in almost any type of soil, but grows best in sandy, high lands. It does not last long in smoky cities. It is believed that the gases in the smoke choke the tree.
