"Mistletoe is a plant parasitic on the apple and other fruit trees, on the thorn, the oak, the poplar, the lime, the ash, etc. It sometimes kills the branch or even the tree on which it is a parasite. Found in the United States, also in Europe, and the N. of Asia. It was deemed sacred by the Druids, and still finds a large market in the United States and England when preparation is being made for Christmas festivities ad sports. Bird lime is made from the berries."—(Charles Leonard-Stuart, 1911)
