Imagine a giapevine or a trumpet creeper, while retaining its foliage, to sever connection with the soil and to thrust rootlike outgrowths into the body of the tree to which it clings, in order to absorb from the tree what before it absorbed from the soil. This would represent the relation which mistletoe sustains to its host. It is interesting to note that there are points 'ot difference between the American mistletoe and the European mistletoe, to which such S. wealth of legend and romance attaches. But the points of difference are not important, and the American is very like the European mistletoe in its appearance and its habits of life. The name mistletoe was long ago applied to the mysterious parasitic European shrub to which centuries later Linnaeus gave the name viscum album. Since that time Related species have been found In nearly all parts of the world, especially in the warm coum tries. The family of mistletoes is now Known to be a large one, embracing more than six hundred species, It has been written that in the course of botanical explorations In the western hemisphere numerous representatives of the family were found, and among them was one which so closely resembled the original mistletoe that It was given the generic name o viscum, with the specific designation ot fiftvescens, and one early botanical explorer, the celebrated Thomas Walter, called the snuhimpna which ba Jwahe The Best Fur House Or Earth For Fur Shippers Nothing is more important to the Fur Shipper than doing business with an Honest Reliable Responsible Safe Fur House.
