wild Fruits I'm Australia.

"Another natural fact regarding this colony is
its almost total absence Of wild fruits. There is
scarcely a nut, berry, or wild fruit OF any kind.
Many people who have been in America express
their surprise at the difference in this respect be-
tween the two countries. There you will find
many rich berries and abundance of nuts (hickory-
nnts and others)1in The woods, as well wild
grapes. Here you literally find nothing from one
end of the colony to the other, except red
fruited bramble, very inferior to our good old
blackberry. No apples, no plums, even poor as
crabs or sloes. There is species of cranberry, the
fruit Of which grows under the plant, but this is
extremely rare; and there is fruit called the
quandong, which grows on the Murray, which
has large stone and would seem to resemble a
plum Edible roots are as few. In fact, except
very rare sort Of fungus, growing in the ground,
called native bread, which the natives roast and
eat and the small root called the murnong, the
natives had no vegetable food, but were thrown
entirely on animal food. But this is n country
which takes kindly TO almost any fruit, root, or
vegetable that civilized man brings into IL; and
will doubtless day be an afiiuent in all these
riches Of nature as any land on the globe. We
have said how prodigally the peach hourishes;
the same is the with the vine and the fig; and
hereafter every man may and will sit under his
own vine and his own fgJree and none shall
make him afraid. see reason why vineyards
should not be cultivated TO any extent, and wine
produced without stint in quantity or superior in
quality. To-day, however, these lie in tho back
ground of gold. "-Horcit's T'po Years in Pretoria
