TegetatiOnin California.

A lady. writing from California thus
describes its climate and productions
Tie letter is dated April, l848, before the
cold discovery in that region.
At San Jose and other places on the
bay, the climate is described as uneqOaIied
Ivy that far-lamed Italy. The iuXuriance
Of the vegetation surpasses anything l
have ever seen. The fields are Astounding
ii wild flowers, equal to any raised IN a
garden, and presenting TO the eye every
variety of color and form. Yesterday al
tcrno0n, we rode out about five miles into
The country, and | think l never saw any
Thing so beautiful in my life.
In one direction as far as the eye could
reach, the ground was covered with small
yellow blossoms, which, as the sun poured
It's departing rays upon them, glistened
like gold. In another spot the ground
appeared covered with unsullied snow,
iIom the number of delicate white flowers
which grow in wild profession, while the
hills were, many Of them, of the richest
shade of purple, from the quantity OF wild
lupin with which they are covered
Groves of wild heliotrope line either side
Of the road nearly the whole distance to
asa: mission, pertaining the air with their
fragrance. Strawberry vines overrun the
.country and we gathered, few days
>lnce, about dozen ripe berries. Soon
,Auy will be abundant. Wild gooseberry
bushes, too, grow in great proiusion.--
The fruit is small, but by cultivation would
be greatly improved. By-and-by we shall
have abundance of fine peaches, melons,
pears and apples.
