A MISTLETOE RANCH Novel Enterprise of Two Georgia Young Women. Huliday Evergreens Raised • a Large Bualu fur Citr Markets -Tb« U »rk and Its Results. “I tbi ik we have about the first and only holly and mivtietoe farm in the country, or in thé world, for that matter." The «¡»eaker, aay« the New York Sun, wm Alias Lucy Carteledge, the elder of two Georgia young wom en w ho three years ago began to raise holly and mistletoe for market. "It all started from my going to New York to study art. My mother, who is my only living parent, by many sacri fices finally saved enough money for me to make the venture. I did not achieve much in the way of art. but I learned what a big world of smart people this is and how much I had to improve before there was a»iy chance of setting it afire with my brilliancy. Once convinced that 1 had little or no artistic ability, 1 set about to find some way to earn a living The high price paid for holly and mist le toe in New York city was one of many revelations, and on inquiry I found that the prettiest pieces were brought over from England, i hi« gave me an idea, aud I wrote home about it to iny sister, who is a very practical person. “She began at once to go over our 500 acres ami cleared away the under brush around every holly tree and holly bubii. In some instances with those aroqnd the house jhe had gone so far ns to trim away all the dead limbs and have the earth about the loots enriched ami spaded up. For the preservation of tlie mistletoe she cut off the muscadine and jessamine vines climbing over exery tree whrr* there wiq» n sprig of it growing She also declared her intention of trying to plant the seeds In the hoi lows and forks of ol<l oaks, where she suxv a chance of their taking root and growing. “During the next summer we had little to do besides sit and wait for xvhut the autumn would bring forth, but this energetic sister of mine wa» caieful to see tbut no harm came to the numerous little holly trees winch she discovered about the roots of the large trees. She stated that site in tended to transplant them in winter, and for the first time wc realized it might not be such an easy mattei to get a holly farm as we anticipated Negroes are so superstition« that it Is almost impossible for n white per son to keep up with the numerous queer things they believe. When our old cook beard us talking about trans planting young holly she was horri fled, and told us It was the worst kind of luck, ami that whoever did it, th« minute the bush grew and cast m shadow large enough to cover their grave they would die. We fourni the sup<*rstitlon quite genera! among the negroes, so, of course, we reel’*ed at once that none of them coni'* e de pended on to plant our holly grove According to their advice the only way to obtain <m*h trees was by pine Ing n lot of berries on a stump near where we wished the tree and allow th«* wind to blow them Only fancy what a stupid idea! Still II wns most serious to uh . us we were entirely de pendent on them ns laborers. "However, our firat harvest came be fore transplanting time As noon mm the berries were sufficiently grown to judge of we sent specimens oh to several firms in Washington and New York. Almont by return mail \b* re ceived surprisingly large orders, but at different prices The best came from the Washington firm which supplies the white houwe. At Christ mas we found two distinct grades of holly Branches gather'd from trees around the house, xvhleh had been trimmed and fertilized, were more beautiful than the others. The foliage wiim richer ami the berries larger, more numerous ami v«»ry much more bril liant. My slater fancied the same ini provrnient was to be observed in the mistletoe, but xve finally decided thnl the most beitutiful specimens of thl* were taken from post oak trees And now. after three years’ experience, w«* consider it a fact. *<)ur profits for the first year were gratifying, ami as soon ns there wnn Kufiiuicnt cold to send the nap down into the roots of the trees we begun our transplanting. But do voti know my sister and I were compelled to do It with our own hands The negroes would dig the holes and put in the fertiliser, but when It came actually Io planting the little trees we had t,. do that oursehes We worked early ajh I late «luring the months of Jan uary and February and managed to set out ten acres of holly. This past season we cut out every other one of these young trees and sold them ss < liristmas tree«. They were well shaped, Tied fine foliage, with large rich berries, so of course they brought the very best prices For our mistletoe we select old oak trees preferably post-oaks, and insert well- ripened berries under the bark in the fork hollow, where they will hate a chance to germinate and caich hold. ••This I list • sason we added to our farm product* by shipping quantities of ban? boo 1 n ml Christmas berry vines. In the north the bamboo is known aa the southern smilax, and makes a ch arming decorstioti, have no iron in getting our goods, and n* our far trunk line railroad ship' first began by era» simply pack the trees a . in the railrosd cars m ’ straight through to th< i tina' tion."
