As noted last year, it is evident that the mistletoe, while preferring to grow on some plants in one locality or in one age, seems to shun them in other places or other times. Hence, it is of great service to knowledge, if friends will send from time to time, the names of the trees on which, in different localities, the mistletoe loves to grow. Some have already kindly done so; but there are many other places yet to hear from.

A lady in South Carolina now writes that in upper Georgia she has seen it grow very abundantly and luxuriantly on the chestnut. This is the first time this tree has been named as a host plant for the mistletoe. It grows there on the oak; but species not named. Another interesting fact is, that " near Augusta, Georgia, on the borders of a lagoon about three miles fiom the city," she found it on a Black walnut. In the same place, she met "a large cluster in fruit on a species of Ilex (Holly), its white translucent berries showing in charming contrast with the scarlet berries and glossy green foliage of its holly host".
