We find in recent notices Of the Washington
Union many gratifying evidences of the activity of
the Patent Office in the procuring and distribution
Of foreign plants and seeds that afford promise Of
advantageous culture in the United States In some
cases, however, there seems TO he lack Of inlor-
nation TO those which have been already success
fully cultivated at the South.
For instance, the Tanya is alluded to in one Of
these notices new importation It is com
mon vegetable in the Charleston market, and has
been long cultivated throughout our Low Coun-
try.
The Jgj Toe Plum is also spoken of as a novelty.
1t fourshes well in Charleston and the fruit comes
TO full maturity. 1t is little cultivated because it IS
really poor fruit.
The Olive is mentioned as having been tried in
Florida. The tree may be seen growing in various
places in South Carolina Our autumn frosts how
ever usually overtake the fruit before it Iipens, so
that it could not be grown here for the purpose OF
oil but it could be picked, and thus supply one of
the most pleasant uses of that classic fruit It is
probable too that the introduction of choice varie
ties by cuttings, as is proposed by the Patent Office
would lead TO more general cultivation of this
benefcent tree. We may get variety. at last
that will fully mature its fruit in the climate OF
South Carolina Charleston Mercury.

About three hundred aud twenty OF the cargo had

1t is also stated, that the house of Plreda, Mac

purchased there by sreculaor at seven ounces
