GROWTH Or RUBBER TREES.

Capt. White Remembers Seeing One
in Florida.
The Morning News editorial of the 4th
inst, relative to the possibility of grow
ing the rubber tree on the Gulf coast
states and in parts of Louisiana has at
tracted considerable attention. In a COM
munieation from Capt. ]. P. White of this
city, he says that several years ago while
on trip 10 Florida, in company with Dre.
Read and Wallace of this city, he saw an
India rubber Tree about fifteen inches in
diameter growing in a sandy strip of land
among palmetto and other trees, about
fifteen miles south of Mosquito inlet. Capt.
White thinks that it grew from a seed
washed ashore by the ocean currents, as
there was no other tree like il anywhere
in that country.
