ALL ABOUT THE MIsTLEToE
Popular Christmas Plant 10 4 Parasite
and In oiden Times Was Con.
sidered Sacred.

Although in tho majority Of Ameri.
can and English homes mistletoe ia
displayed at Christmas time, it is re-
markable how little is known o. this
curious plant. Mistletoe is a para
site growth, appearing most frequent
ly on apple trees. although It is also
found on evergreens and on poplar.
hawthorn. pear and oak trees. but
very rarely on the last named. 1t is
an evergreen bush. about four feet
in length. thickly crowded with
branches and leaves. Unlike all 9TH
er plants. its leaves extend down as
we'll as up. The plant flowers every
year, but does not bear the little whit
ish berries until It Is four years old.
The mistletoe proper is a native Of
Europe, especially of England and
Normandy. In olden times it was con.
sidered sacred plant. because its
berries grow in clusters of three
emblematic Of the Trinity. The an.
Client Celts used to hang sprigs Of
mistletoe around their necks as
safeguard from witches. The maid
that was not caught and kissed under
the mistletoe at Christmas would not
be married within the year, SO the
tradition goes. According to the old
rules the ceremony was not properly
performed unless a berry was pulled
off after each kiss and presented to
the maiden. When all the berries
were gone the privilege ceased.
