The hills in B etague, near the sea
coast are thickly covered with beautiful
purple heath flowers.
Morlaix, though the Climate is very
cold, is remarkably well supplied with
fruits, figs, and Strawberries of an enor-
nous size. The fruit trees here are per-
feet miniatures or dwaris; and the cult
;vators assure me. that by continual prun-
ing an infant oak, you may produce a
miniature tree of six inches in height.
The country is billy, wherefore two
strong iron plates are fixed behind wheels
of Wagons, and even the diligences.
which by strong screw can be advanced
to rub against the wheels. This is the
