(j^l** Christinas Greens E VBRVBODV knows the Christ­ mas trees. Iiolly, mistletoe dud Christmas‘greens on our mar­ kets. but where these cheering plants come from and how they grow is net bo well known. Christmas trees are furnished princi­ pally by two families Of trees—the spntces and the flrs. The spruces ate the more bushy ..looking trees, with numerous small cones near the top. All through northern New England, northern Michigan, Wisconsin and Min* nesota tbe spruces form vast fprests. The black, sprues grows In swamps, where few other trees can live, while the white spruce competes with the noble pines for higher and better soil. Evety year millions of young spruces are cut in the northern forms and shipped to the cities gud prairie states in carload lots. If the woodsmen can iind A stand of young flrs they take them also, The firs took more refined and less bushy, anti their green leaves often stand away from the slender branches like the teeth or ft comb. While the use of Christmas trees has corns to us from Germany* the custom of decorating our bouses with hollyand mistletoe originated in England. Holly* The home of ,our American hotly is In the woods of New England and the Allegheny mountains, lit the north It ia 4 smalt evergreen shrub, but fa the south it sometimes grows to be a tree fifty f«et Wgh> With its glossy green Nave# *nd bright scarlet berries the holly IS an object of beauty la Its na*j tty* woods a* well as in ora* fashion*, able flats sad churches. The band of man has never cultivated this beSuti* f a i j | i ^ y ^ J e « # not mi * eamm t‘ cial scale* but the wild birds are at­ tracted by its bright berries, -They cat the scanty pulp.and scatter the seeds far and wide. Willie some species of holly grow ns for south as Texas nud westward Intb Missouri nnd Arkansas, the great forests of Michigan, Wiscon­ sin and Minnesota contain not a sin­ gle species of these beautiful shrubs* MUtlctds. A queer kind of plant is the mistle­ toe. If one saw it for the first time ho might mistake. It for the common Witch’s broom which is familiar to ev­ ery northern woodsman, in reality the mistletoe i* n parasite which grows and lives on other trees, such as ma­ ple, poplftr nnd tupelo. Its white fruit is eaten by birds, add the small seeds are Accidentally dwppeiloii ttie branch­ es of frees. The seeds adhere to the bark, and if they happen to lnivc been planted on the right kind of host they germinate anti send a kind of sticber- IIke growth ihto the bark pud wood of their host, and a ocw mistletoe plant begins its Ufa and grows) nt the expense of lift host, from Which It <le rives nearly all Its nourishment. Our Christmas mistletoe is restricted to tho middle nnd aoiitbirn states, grthvlng from New' Jersey - to. Missouri and south as far ns Florida and Texas, but is not found bt the nurflrem slates Several species of mistletoe, however1, do occur in our, wewoiii forests, ChrtetititUk dretns. The most bumble plant of this happy season Is the small plant known as Christmas greens or ground piitcs, It Is a close relative of the ferns and mosses and. Ilia* there, occupies the shady nooks and places of the forest floor, where it trails ami twines among the foots of tho stately pines. It never produces any flowers or true seeds. Its small loads. Which look like tiny cars of grain, are filled with a yellow dual. This dust h carried away by the wind or shake, out and carried oft h f tb» Audi* touch ,of squirrel*, ... .*■!*•,# ***■*.aaMwWkluy .abhlta ttnil other Woodland rotK lworu tills fine dust the new plants grow. Few of us who enjoy the cheer of these Christmas plants do ever meet them In their native haunts In winter; We enh only study them Where they grow when wb take oar summer out­ ing to, tbe northern woods and to tbe mountains'. :: THE CHRISTMAS BABY :: M 4 ► W E had the nicest Chriatttx&v day Ws ever had The tree, With candy, toys and picture bonks, Was full a# it could be.

Which was the .reason, maybe, That Bantu Claus In mamma's roo+n Just had to put the b I I got a lovely act of furs (I’m nearly twelve years old), And Bobby got a soldier salt, Trlinmed up With red and gold, -And Bessie not a indy doll-*.
