SPAR|NG USE URGED
. OF HOLLY AND PINE
Christmas Greens Found Dis
appearing-Substitutes Are
Advocated by Society.

Holly and ground pine are fast dis
appearing-Use substitutes for Christ
mas"
With this slogan, the Wild Flower
Preservation Society, Of which p. L.
Kicker of the Department of Agricul-
ture is president, is again waging
campaign this year in the interests Of
preservation of these Christmas green's.
The American holly, Mr.. Kicker ex-
plains, was formerly common, and
mostly within so miles of the Atlantic
Coast. from Cape Cod, in Massachusetts,,
to Florida and Eastern Texas. It is
now practically unknown in any guam
tity north of New Jersey.
In the central and southern part of
that State it Is found in quantity along
the streams back into the pine barren
country and. while it Is cut to a con-
siderable extent at Christmas, the ad-
joining Philadelphia market is largely
supplied from Delaware, the Eastern
Shore and Chesapeake Bay regions of
Maryland, where it Is still found
Most Of the holly coming into the
Washington market Is cut from the
neighboring country, Mr.. Kicker ex-
plains. His society is not endeavoring
to put a complete stop to the use of
holly at Christmas time But it Is
urging the use of holly moderately"
and is earnestly pushing campaign for
the cultivation and growth of holly in
the Eastern States to preserve this
beautiful tree.
At the present rate of destruction, ac-
cording to Mr.. Kicker, "pickers and
dealers are rapidly working themselves
out of profitable business unless the
cutting of whole small trees for the
market (Which is common) and the
stripping of large trees is stopped and q
plan put into effect to cut certain areas
only once in four years unless the trees
have trunks or inches in diameter"
