SEEDS FROM PATENT 0FncE-We have received seve-
raj packages of foreign grain seeds from the Patent
Office at Washington and have distributed them In the
proper quarter One of the packages contained sample
Of Syrian spring wheat which obtained by tte United
States dragoman directly from the farm Of Abraham at
the foot of Mount Carmel in the Holy Land The chief
merit Of this grain presumed 70 be its carry maturity
il penng in sixty days after sowing which much
Ier than any spring wheat grown in this latitude No
thrg is sad the accompanying label to ts produc
tveness, which only be ascertained by trial TIE
berry is of medium size, light cream colored and
moderate weight, ard doubt will produce very good
-four. It may prove valuable acquisition to our ce-
reals. We also received package Of Spanish spring
wheat (2T9o Candeal,) said to rpen In ninety days
berg thirty days longer in reaching maturity than the
sysn; , s s aualy Is aooa. out .ns same as 'as syr,ah a.
our winter wheat. The remaining packages contain
samples OF Chinese sugar cane yaencia meons emperor
peas, white flint corn, lents, &C., &C. We have no
OF asceraning whether this variety of the sugar
will grow in this latitude. We're it to do SO, 1t
might enable us 10 grow sugar t., extent.
The dire cons state that it should cultivated
similar to that pursued in the culture OF
Proper directions should accompany every package o
reign Seeds giving the from whence derived,
latitude, topography, climate, &C. This course would
save the agricuturis much trouble and bened
ciai results. Much valuable time and much seed
row from want of accurate directions to culture
&c ls Is hoped the Paten, Office will not neglect fur
Lish the requisi Q information in future.
