HAS SLOW GROWTH
MistIetoe Develops Slowly in First
Years of Existence.
Parasite Occurs on Wide Range Of
Trees and Is Common on That
of the Apple, but Rarely
Appears on the Pear.

London.-The very slow growth
made by the mistletoe plant in the
first few years OF its existence has
been a cause OF anxiety TO those who
have fondly hoped to grow large
punches OF mistletos in their gar
dens in short space of time. In sup
port OF your correspondents views
[ am sending a photograph showing
two large punches of mistletoe on a
whitethorn, says a writer in Country
Life. 1t is very curious, for the mis-
tletoe is obviously older than the host
plant. This. however, has been ac-
complished by removing the mistle-
toe with u portion of the tree on
which 1t was growing and grating
upon the whitethorn. Your CORE
spondent's success in growing mistle-
toe on the Glastonbury thorn raises
the question OF suitable host plants
for the parasite. Ii is most often
seen growing upon the apple. but in
certain districts it is common on the
poplar, while 1t is also found on haw-
thorn, willow, lime. maple, mountain
ash, and even cedar of Lebanon and
larch. There is popular impression
that mistletoe has a great liking for

the oak. AS a matter of fact, the two
are very seldom found together, and
the rare occurrence of mistletoe grow
ing upon oak was held sacred by the
Druids and regarded as a divine gift.
A most singular thing concerning mis-
tletoe is that, although it occurs on a
wide range of trees and is so common
on the apple, yet it is hardly ever
found on the pear. The writer has
never seen mistletoe on the pear, and
such instances must be extremely
rare. Attempts recently made 70
grow mistletoe on pear have led to
such remarkable results that the sub
ject has since been brought before the
scientific committee Of the Royal Hor-
ticultural society Mistletoe seed was
sown on a number of trees, and in
many instances termination took
place. In no case, however, did the
mistletoe get beyond the stage OF
termination, and no leaves were made.
The effect upon the pear was notice
able, for the mistletoe in its attempt
to establish itself killed the tissue OF
the tree stem just within the bark.
completely encircling the stem, all
growth being killed above the point
where the mistletoe had terminated.

we'll to go over the surface with lime
water first before applying a coat OF
paint. Walls done this way will be re-

two would be needed to eradicate the
damage from smoke and grease. The
lime water may be applied hastily with
a whitewash brush, and a five-cent
piece Of lime will make enough to
cover the surface OF any good-sized
room, while the cost and labor OF ap-
plying an extra coat of paint would be
considerable.
