M i S t . t - toe. as is well known, is of the para sitic kind, taking its sustenance not from the ground, but from a tree. The apple tree seems to ’>e its favorite, though the hawthorn, the lime and the poplar frequently carry the parasite. I The scientific inoculation of trees with the mistletoe growth l.< praitleed with excellent results in the north ot England. The gardener taken between ids thumb and forefinger one of the little iH'frics of the mistletoe, crushes It so that its sticky juice oozes out and sticks It upon the surface of a branch of tbe tree. Esunlly he «elects a young branch, on which the bark Is soft and easily penetrable, if an older branch lie chosen, the bark is slightly scraped on tbe surface. The berry Is mashed flat against the bark. The seed which it contains is thus held In place by Its Ií you w,t, a good own gum.
