~ AESTA great many thoughts
E%%k@gY are being given to it
E and a great many re-
ferences, humorous,
semihumorOus and
sentimental, are being made to it.
Many bOughs, branches and pendants
of this beautiful and mysterious plant
are being severed from the oaks and
other trees and now hang from chan
deliers, gas burners, door jambs or
other places where women and young
girls may pass beneath it.
A great deal has been learned about
mistletoe by the bOtanists, and yet
there is much about the curious plant
which the wisest men do not know.
The variety with which people are &C
quainted is a parasite, yet it is not
altogether a parasite.
William L. Bray, an Investigator In
forest pathology for the Department
of agriculture, has written this for the
Washington Star:
itself upon it's host, the tree, pene-
trates it's tissue and draws nourish-
ment from it, reforming it and sap
ping its vitality. Yet the mistletoe Is
a green. leafy plant; that is, it pos
sesses the pigment chlorophyll, which
gives the green color to normal veg
citation. Some of the tropical species
of mistletoe bear leaves as large as
those of the American elm.

eSS. It is, therefore, only partly q
parasite so far as dependence upon
a host for food is concerned, but ap-
parently none the less harmful on that
account. 1t secures from it's host only
what the normal shrubbery plant de-
rives from the soil, namely, water and
certain necessary mineral constituents.
Imagine a grapevine or a trumpet
creeper, while retaining its foliage, to
sever connection with the soil and to
thrust rootlike Outgrowths into the
body of the tree to which 1t clings, in
order to absorb from the tree what
before it absorbed from the soil. This
would represent the relation which
miStletoe SuStains to its host"
1t is interesting to note that there
are points of difference between the
American mistletoe and the European
mistletOe, to which such a wealth of
legend and romance attaches. But the
points of difference are not import
ant, and the American is very like
the European miStletOe in its appear
ance and its habits of life. The name

shrub to which centuries later Lin
naeus gave the name vfscum album.
Since that time related species have
been found in nearly all parts of the
world, especially in the warm coun-
tries. The family of mistletoes Is
now known to be q large one, en-
bracing more than six hundred species.
1t has been written that in the course
of botanical explorations in the west
ern hemisphere numerous representa-.
tives of the family were found, and
among them was one which so close
ly resembled the original mistletoe
that it was given the generic name of
viscum, with the specific designation
OF "f1avescens," and one early botan.
zeal explorer, the celebrated Thomas
Walter, called the specimens which he
found in the Carolinas viscum album,
under the impression that they were
identical with the European plant.
