Excerpt from The Mistletoe Pest in the Southwest Oregon and Washington. Eastward its northern limit. Is in New Jersey, southern Pennsylvania, southern Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, and eastern Oklahoma. Speaking generally, mistletoe is held in rather high regard everywhere because of its inherently interesting mode of life, because of the traditional and historical atmosphere which invests the original mistletoe of Europe, and because of its desirability, for the above and other reasons, as a decorative Christmas shrub. The fact that it is a parasite implies a possible injury to the tree upon which it grows, but, again speaking generally, the injury is regarded as relatively slight and more than offset by the feeling of regard for the parasite. Among people who see it rarely, and, especially among those living in northern cities who purchase small sprigs or bunches of it at a good price for Christmas decoration, the idea of mistletoe being a harmful parasite upon trees is quite lost sight of. Nevertheless, there are localities in which mistletoe becomes SO abundant upon trees and so harmful to them as to make the control of it or its extermination a serious practical question.
