GARDEN TINE
BY M. E. GARDNER
N. g. State COLLEGE

Ns N. C. State College
We have always associated holly
with Christmas. The bright shiny
leaves contrasting with the red ber-
ries lend color, warmth and mean
ing.
Perhaps it is not generally known
that all sorts of supernatural pow
ers were once attributed to holly.
This shiny plant was thought to
have power to repel lighting. The
eastern Indians believed that holly
trees planted near the cabin would
act as protectors and ward off evil
spirit. Since the leaves of the holly
do not readily fall off they also
looked up to the plant as an en-
blem of courage.
Early Christians believed that
holly was used to make the crown
of thorns for the crucifixtion. The
plant was then called righteous
branch, or thorn of Christ, for the
red berries supposedly symbolized
the drops of blood on Christ's brow.
The legend has it in Brittany that
when Christ was bearing His cross,
a small bird attempted to relieve
His suffering by plucking thorns
from His brow. The birds breast
became stained with blood and was
known ever after as Robin Red
breast.
To this day in England and Ger
many, it is considered unlucky TO
step on holly berry, a favorite
food of the robin, in recognition Of
the birds charitable act.
Many superstitions existed about
bringing in the holly before Christ
mas. In Wales, if it was brought
in before Christmas Eve, it was
sure to cause family quarrels
throughout the year. The type of
holly brought into the household
determined who was to dominate
during the year. If the holly was
smooth, the wife was in command;
if prickly, the husband governed.
Infusions, decoctions and fomen-
tations of holly were used for a
wide assortment of human disor-
ders. In England, a tea of holly
bark was a cure for the cough. In
France, a decoction of leaves and
bark was considered equal to quin-
inc in the treatment of intermittent
fever. A tea of holly leaves was be-
lieved to be a cure of measles by
North American Indians.
A beverage of the berries pacifi-
ed the squaws of Cherokees and
curbed their urge for wandering.
The juice of leaves was recommend
ed as cure for jaundice and was
also good for pain in the side.
Other infusions, decoctions and
lamentations of leaves, berries
bark, or combinations, were used
for many other human ills-whoop-
ing cough, chilblains, tooth ache,
kidney ailments and as stimulants
for the nerves and brain.
I give credit to the American
Horticultural Society for much of
the information used. It was taken
from a Special Issue of the Ma
tional Horticultural Magazine en-
titled Handbook of Hollies" and
compiled by Harry Denlinger.
There were 26 contributors, all well
qualified by training and exper-
fence to speak with authority on
the subject.

CARDS FOR CHRISTMAS
We don't know what will replace
them, but the regular old Christmas
cards we used to know seem to BID
passing from the scene.
The fact that 80 per cent of the
1861 cards We're via first class mail
indicated that the senders were try
ing desperately through heavier
postage to give them Importance
Frankly, printed cards leave us cold

One of our friends remarked the
other day that she pays little at
tention to a Christmas card unless
it contains some little handwritter]
note with the signature of the send
ers.

cards will soon be about as much
a part of the Christmas scene as
oranges, apples, nuts, and raisin4

who has "alamained" to the
