TEA The UNITED STATES

Dr. Junius Smith seems perfectly confident o.
success IN his experiments OF tea culture 10 the
Union. He has purchased tract OF rough and
stony land near GreensviIle, South Coroina, and
on The &c h December last, hc planted the frat lea
shrubs ever cultivated in The United Safes for
agricultural purposes. Or some five hundred
plants received from China, all out thirteen were
healthy ard vigorous, and several of them were
in full blossom, with their leaves fresh an! green,
as if growing in China others, TO use his own
poetic language, "giih the blossom. bu! jGsl
showing lis ivory breast, ready 10 develope all
its beauties" Il is a bold experiment, and will
BE ws.che! with interest.
