Tia cSzsUre an South C616liaa.--Dr.
JuHfus Smith, of Greenville, South
Carolina in a letter dated May lsl,
speaks Of his experimentsin in growing
tea IN thIs country az highly success
-ful. The plant maintains its original
physiology and follows'its Chinese pas
lernity, putting out its foliage at the
same period that it does in. China. =
All Dr.. Smiths plants have taken root.
The buds began to develops leaves
about the goth Of April, though the
spring Has been backward, and lie
could at this time collect sufficient
quantity of leaves to make first rate tea.
He says theleaves are most tender and
delicate and be can now understood
why 1t is that We cannot obtain the first
quality Of tea from china. The first
growth Of the leaf isSso' delicate that il
is quite impossible to divest it Of hus
midity, BY firing or roasting to- sustain
SO long a voyage, besides the almost
certainty of utterly destroying the rich
ahd precious aroma. When the tea is
cultivated Here, this process Of roastc
ing may be dispensed with. With
variety Of soil. abundance of cheap land
and facilities Of traBsportation, Dr.. s.
thinks that il we do dot Cultivats our
own tea. we ought to be tributary to
those who call Us barbarians. Every
farmer, certainly ia the middle and
sodihern'Sta may grow his own tea
in his own garden, without thesslight-
est interference. with his ordinary ag-
rituItutal pursuits, We think now
thai il Iss demonstractsd that Tea will
grow hers, some of our agricultural
societies should offer premiums for the
first aud best quality ef tea grown up.

addressed ourselves upon that subject when the Cafor
