Have noticed several articles in the Monthly, as to the habits of mistletoe, and upon what trees this parasite delights to grow in different sections of the country. My observations so far have only found it to grow upon the Hickory, Hackberry, Post Oak, Willow-leaved Oak and Water Oak; but most luxuriantly upon the Hickory; makes a bush 4 to 5 feet high, 1 1/2 to 2 inches in diameter. The trees here present an unique appearance, as it grows usually at the tops of the trees - never on the Magnolia or Live Oak in this part of South Florida. Lake Matt land, Florida, October 25th, [This is a very interesting note, as showing that while it grows in other sections freely on the Live Oak and Magnolia, it does not seem to be favored by the same trees here.

The fact favors the suggestion made originally by the Gardeners' Monthly, that the failure of the mistletoe to take hold of some trees, is not from any special antipathy; but from local conditions that favor the germination of the seed; and that a change in these conditions might make the Oak in England the favorite of the mistletoe in the time of the Druids, and unfavorable to it now.

The matter is one of considerable interest; we shall be glad to have further notes of the host trees of the parasite from other localities. Has anyone seen it on a Pine, Spruce, Juniper, or other coniferous trees?J
