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 1t occurs on a
wide range Of trees and is SO common
on the apple, yet it is hardly eve
found on the pear. The writer has
never seen mistletoe on the pear, and
such instances must be extremely
rare. Attempts recently made to
grow mistletoe or pear have led to
such remarkable results that the sub
ject has since been brought before the
scientific committee of the Royal Hor-
t%icultural 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,
