HOLIDAY GREENS
DISAPPEARING IN
UNITED STATES
Preservation Body Urges
Conservation of Holly
and Pine.
BH Sc.snce Se,tice

BH Sc.ynce SeJttce
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2O.-Go
slow on Christmas green's; there
aren't any more where they came
from.
This, in effect, is the appeal Is
sued by the National Wild Flower
Preservation Society. Almost all of
the holly, ground pine, laurel and
other Christmas greens found in the
market is gathered from the wild,
and the demand is eating up the
available stocks far more rapidly
than natural growth is replacing
them, officers of the society say.
This is true partly because many of
the species are plants of slow
growth, but even more because the
gatherers are usually both greedy
and ignorant, and strip the group
bare, leaving nothing to start new
growth.
This is true especially in the case
OF holly and ground pine. Holly is
wooded, slow growing shrub
or small tree that thrives in the
south along the eastern seaboard as
far north as Massachusetts. One
years unrestricted cutting destroys
the growth of ten or a dozen years.
and at this rate 1t will not be long
until the native supply of holly will
have vanished completely as the
once abundant trailing arbutus of
Massachusetts.
Bay State Arbutus Rare
The trailing arbutus is the official
state flower of Massachusetts, and
was formerly lavished on decora-
tions for public occasions. It is
still used, but more sparingIy, since
the people of Massachusetts now
have to send outside Of their bound
aries to get supply of their own
state floWerl
Americans already are doing that
in the case of the holly, though not
as yet for the same reason. We are
importing European holly simply
because it Is brighter and Shower
plant than our native species. with
gloSSier leaves and more and larger
berries. Here is q case where we
need not be ashamed to admit the
superiority of foreign product, if
it will result in the protection and
preservation Of a native wild plant.
European Holly Grown
Some cultivation Of European
holly has been undertaken in this
country, the plants usually being
grated on stocks of the native
species to enable them to meet
American soil conditions more
successfully. Holly requires an
acid soil, which accounts for its
absence from the limestone regions
of the Midwest.
One traditional Christmas green
is excepted from the list of plants
to be used sparingly. Mistletoe has
many friends, but no advocates. And
although European species of mistle-
toe. as of holly, is larger-leaved and

any one locality, but in the aggregate
are very gratifying and appreciate.
Once the forest resources of a To-
cality are gone, it is extremely diff
cult and expensive to bring them back
Also it requires long time to do it.
The supply of Christmas trees and
boughs should come from improve
ment Trimmings in young forests. This
is why the federal state forest SER
vices are interested in how trees are
being cut TO supply these demands.
The supply of these products in the
form of Improvement Trimmings has
been demonstrated as practical and
desirable on national forest lands and
the practice must be extended to prf-
vately owned lands if our forested
lake shores and roadsides are to be
kept permanently clothed with trees.
Unfortunately many private land
owners are not cutting their trees
wisely in that they cut the symmet-
rical trees only for Christmas trees.
Such trees are most abundant in scat
tered open young stands Of trees.
The private land owner is seeking to
make as much money as possible from
the sale of trees has, as a rule, little
concern regarding the permanency of
the forest It will last as long as he
does, and so why be concerned about
the future inhabitants of the region.
Public Has Interest
The public has an interest in the
forests regardless of whether they are
on privately owned lands or on public
lands. As such, the public should de-
nland that lands essentially valuable
for tree growth be handled as to be
kept permanently clothed with forests
This can be done by wise cutting.
The private owner is entitled TO re-
move his mature, overmature timber,
and make improvement trimmings in
young stands of trees, through careful
cutting, and to obtain the profits
therefrom- He is not entitled how
ever, to destroy or reduce the pro-
ductivity of the forest This means
that in supplying such minor products
as Christmas trees and boughs from
stands Of young trees the cutting must
be done carefully and thrifty evenly
spaced stand of trees left-not a lot
of scrubby diseased trees-to grow in
to big trees TO furnish forest pro-
ducts for the future Such trees viii
at the same time insure the scenic
value of our lake shores and roadsides.

Holly Berry Beliefs

remembrances OF the crown or

the holly bark was symbolic OF

cross.
