ALL ABOUT THE MISTLETOE
Popular Christmas Plant ls Parasite
and In oIden Times Was Con-
sldered Sacred.

Although in the majority OF Ameri.
can and English homes mistletoe is
displayed at Christmas time. II is re-
markable how little is known OF this
curious plant. Mlstletoe is a para
sitic 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. Il ia
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 1t is four years old.
The mistletoe proper is a native Of
Europe, especially OF England and
Normandy. In olden times 1t was con.
sidered a 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 a
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
