"Mrs. M. H. G." writes: "In your issue of the Gardeners' Monthly and Horticulturist, date October 1st, 1885, I notice an article on the mistletoe, in reply to an inquirer signing himself ' Student.' In this you tell him that the State of Virginia produces the mistletoe on the elm.

"I am a Virginian by birth, and resided in that State up to the time of my marriage, my father owning a plantation in Albemarle County, which is about the centre of the State. Of other counties I cannot speak with confidence, but in this one, we never found mistletoe except upon the oak".
