- HE Agricultural Department Of this
government has sent a number OF
- exploring scientists into the various
countries Of the world in a search for
odd and quaint plants. Good results
have been derived from the trips. One
Of the remarkable plants lately brought
to this country is desert shrub from
Angola. West Africa. 1t Is a rubber
producer which stores the precious Juice
in turnip- shaped underground roots. This
plant requires almost no water and bears
Its seeds in pods. 1t is likely to prove
desirable for cultivation in the arid South
west
The tomato tree" is another peculiar
shrub found in South America. 1t is a
native Of the mountains Of Brasil and 10
cultivated for its egg-shaped, reddish
brown, striped fruits, two inches In d.
ameter, which grow on very slender
stalks This fruit is much like a tomato
in appearance and favor. The plant bears
the second or third year from seed, when
1t Is placed under glass, and scientists
are Of the opinion that 1t will prove
invaluable to the gardens Of this coun-
try.
The water chestnut" has been obtained
from China. These tubers are eaten raw
or stewed and they are considered very
good eatables by the Cinnamon. There
has been a wild shrub obtained from Mex
leo called the 'candelillo," which yields
