FERTILE SPOT.

The valley of the Jordan would act as
an enorn. ols hot house for the new col
ony. Here might be cultivated palms,
rice, cotton, indigo, sugar, sorgum,
besides bananas, pineapples, yams, sweet
potatoes, and other field and garden
produce. Rising little higher, the
country is adapted to tobacco, maize,
fax, castor oil, millet, sesamum, melons,
gourds, cumin, anise, Coz ander, ochra,
brinjals, pomegrenates, oranges, figs
and so up to the plains, where wheat
barley, beans, and lentils of various
sorts, with olives and vines, would form
the staple products. Gilead especially
is essentially country of wine and oil !;
it is also admirably adapted to silk.cul-
ture; while among its forests, carob or
locust bean, pistachio, jujube, almond,
balsam, kali, and other profitable trees
grow wild in great profusion. All the
fruits of Southern Europe, such as
apricots, peaches, and plums, here grow
to perfection apples, pears and ounces
thrive we'll on the more extreme eleva-
ton, upon which the fruits and vegeta-
bles of England might easily be cult
waited, while the quick-growing eucylyp-
tus could be planted with advantage on
the fertile but treeless plains. Not only
does the extraordinary variety OF soil
and climate thus compressed into q
small area offer exceptional advantages,
from an agricultural point of view, but
the inclusion of the Dead Sea within its
limits would furnish vast source OF
wealth, by the exploration Of its chem
icAl and mineral deposits. The supply
Of chlorate of potassium, two hundred
thousand tons of which are annually
consumed in England, is practically in
exhaustible while petroleum, bitumen,
and other lignites can be procured in
great quantities upon its shores. There
can be little doubt, in fact, that the
Dead Seals mine Of unexplored wealth,
which only needs the application Of
capital and enterprise to make it most
lucrative property

virtue OF which he secms to be wholly ignor-

pAnly whea he purchases trees.

Is principaly,'if not wholly, in the size and
hoight Of the trees. The larger the irro the

Lha nurseryman knows better, and tho farmer
will find before long that, with equal care, the
small trees will grow fsstor (f 3 fruit tree)
and come into bearing condition sooner thsn
larger ones. In a half dozen years the tree
that was small when planted will DO larger
and finer than the other. The reason for
this is obvious. The larger the tree, the
larger tho roots witch it mas, and the larger
the roots the lees hbros there will be upon
