There Il probably no locality or territory in |
the United States, the soil aud climate Of which
arc better adapted to the cultivation Of ponotogi-
cal and Horticultural products, fruits and flow
ers. than that part Of Illinois, lying south Of the
Ohio md Mississippi Railroad, cassically desig-
mated Egypt. This fact-hayins been pretty j
certainly established by actual experience, as
well as BY the judgment Of gentlemen thorough
ly posted in such matters. the people in this
section have been moving in the matter, md
last yeas established an association under tho j
title Of "The Pomological and Horticultural
Society of Southern Illinois," for the pur-
pose Of gathering such practical facts and
information upon the subject, aud spread
Ing them before the people, As shall in
duce intelligent action by those who may desire
to turn their attention to these branches Of sg-
ricu!tural Industry. As result Of this action,
and from 4 conviction Of success, several wcia
known nursery1nen, located in the more North
cru portions Of our State, and also some from
other States, have established nurseries in this
vicinity, and hare thus far met with success
