In all the regions where the yellow-pine mistletoe has been ob- served in the States of Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, and South Dakota, broom- ing is a common result of the growth of the parasite on this tree. Correspondents in Wy- oming, Utah, and Colorado report that old infected trees are seldom without them. MacDougal (8)1 refers to the excessive brooming of yellow pine by mis- tletoe in the South- west. Meinecke (10) refers to the very conspicuous brooms on Jeffrey pine, sugar pine, yellow pine, lodgepole pine, and Douglas fir. The old brooms of the Douglas fir, be- cause of the long, trailing, willowlike branches of the lower portion of the broom, are more con- spicuous than those attain an immense size, often including the entire crown (fig. 6).
