The sweet Olive.
WalsonvlIIe palaronlan

A correspondent of the Santa Cruz inquires.if the sweet olive is culti- yated in California. Some years ago the Marysyille Appeal published an article on the sweet olive of the Gre elan Isles, and the writer declared it thc most palatable of olives. This ar ticle attracted the attention of James Waters, our local nurseryman, and he wrote the Appeals correspondent concerning this much-praised fruit He received reply giving place where trees could be obtained, and he wrote the United States Consul at that port and interested him in the matter In time shipment of the trees was made, but we believe that lot was lost.
 The following season MT. Waters wrote again, and in time a lot of trees was obtained from the interior Of the island where they grow; they were carefully packed by the consul. and after several months travel reached Watsonville. Most of them were in good condition. and they have been used as a stock from which to proBa- gate trees. We are of the impression that they are the only trees of this variety on the coast. and perhaps in  the country They were obtained with great difficulty and heavy ex- pensc. If the writer of the query in the Surf will visit MT. Waters nur- series, he can ind the sweet olive tree Where it grows in Greece its fruit is much preferred to that of the Italian and Spanish olives.

 inhabitants of the new world. They
 abound in the dry regions of tropical
 America. and certain varieties are
 widely distributed through the south ern parts of the United States. Trans
 planted to Europe some of the opun-
 tias have flourished along the Medi-
 terranean, almost as freely as if indig
 enous. Many varieties of the cactus
 amily are admired for their singularly
 twisted stems, tufts of sharp spines,
 formidable thorns, or bright flowers.
 For this reason they are fayorite ob- jects in conseryat0ries. The more
 thOrny kinds are planted as impene-
 trable hedges around houses in Mex
 leo and South America. The fruits. especially Of the opuntias, are edible, and are better known as pTickly pears. or Indian figs. The turnip-like roots of the giant mescal are roasted by the
 Indians. and from the juices of the same a fayorite Indian drink is made.
 But until recently it was thought that, aside from the above uses, the cactus was a sad cumberer of the ground, with very few redecming qualities.
 1t has long been known that q woody axis grew under the thick. ileshy stems of the cactus, sometimes quite compact in substance. and again with large round or oval open ings.
