The number of plants and trees which would thrive in the mild climate of Charlestown, is very great, and it will be an easy thing for you to make a selection of them from the botanic works; but those that occur to me as more likely to be had, and easily introdu= ced are the following

1 The Cork tree — from Portugal where it is called Sovereyra

2 The Quercus ballota — from the same coun= try where the tree is called Azinheira, and the acorn Bellota doce. This fruit is four times as big as that of the Live oak, and of a taste between the almond and the chestnut.

3 The Pinus pinea — This tree grows in the form of an umbrella, the almonds are large and very sweet, and among the Italians one of their esteemed sweet meats called Piganocata Brotero in the Flora Lusitanica marks two varieties, the almond of one of them has a soft shell, this is to be preferred, and to be had from Portugal.
