MEXICAN PLANTs-OUR VOLUNTEERS AN ARMY
OF BorANIsrs. our volunteers about to
enter upon new campaign in Mexico, we would suggest
that they improve the opportunities that will soon be
offered to collect tho seeds Of valua BILE plants that
cultivated the ATTITUDES OF Mexico corresponding with
the ATTITUDES in which they reside II il well known
acclmated by long culture in the temperate regions Of
Mexico that they fruitful and grow as
Of the northern plants, also have become accmatsd
by long culture the tropical regions Of Mexico,
that they could probably be rom INTO
II is well known that the celebrated but unfortunate Dr.
Perrne devoted the latter period of his valuable lie TO
the apparently uess attempt to acclimate many OF the
tropical plants in the southern portions Of Florida lie
far successful that we believe owing mainly to
his labors the pantan the date the olive pine apple
root guava and large number of the plants OF
Yucatan that used in the manufacture OF oordage
&C., have been cultivated successfully in Florida This
ndeatgabe and observing naturalist 80 elaed with
the of his useful experiments that he ventured
to predict that the Canary plantain would aiter onH
process of culture be acsnated to produce fruit
the banks of the Roanoke 1t has been acolmated
this time produce fruit in Louisiana and 1t 0y no
improbable that it may ultimately be 80 accimsed
rpen its fruit far north of that State we'll ascer
tanned that sugar cane tropical plant has been SO acci
that will endure frost without suffering injury,
that 10 Is years ago would hsve destroyed the
Tho plantan may In similar manner become gradually
acclimated in the Southern States, and yield queuy
now cultivated without the tropics As Mexico has been
settled by Europeans for much longer period than any
portion of the United States its Inhabitants have the al
vantage of US in the acclimaton OF many valuable plants
and should by all avail ourselves OF the favor
able opportunity that 10 offered to procure them Each
volHntser, his return, bring few seeds Of the
choicest fruits that cultivated at Monterey, Monco-
Sao. and other cities that situated in ATTITUDES
corresponding with those Of the Southern States Al
Monterey may be found the Avocado pear, most deli
cious fruit which can be raised from seeds also several
varioes of the orange and probably the olive ard cit
At Parras variety Of the grape has been long cul
vaed that yields wine highly esteemed in all parts OF
Mexico At sahllo and Monclova several varieties of
planted in the southern portions Of this state in the
southern portions of Louisiana Alabama Georgia,
would probably produce trees that would yield excellent
fruit There also cultivated in the Mexican gardens
Of which would be acceptable the ladies in all sections
Of the Union 1t is sufficient we hope merely to make
this suggestion to the volunteers and their own good
and gallantry will induce them to select and bring
home such plants will be most priced by their fair
quaintances-Houston (Teras) Telegraph, Jan. II.
