5. The jujuba - Rhamnus zizyphus L. Beautiful tree of Syria, now common in all the South of Europe. The fruit is a pleasant one when perfectly ripe

6. The Rhamnus lotus of Barbary is still scarce in Europe but the fruit is superior to the preceding. Both are to be had from the south of France

7. Cratagus azarolus — is to be had from the same country, two varieties with white or red fruit. It is one of the most delightful fruits when perfectly ripe, of the size of a pigeon's egg.

8. Ceratonia siliqua. Large and beautiful tree of the south of Europe, which grows well in sandy or dry soil. Its fruit which is always abundant is good nauvi? aliment for horses mules cows. Is cultivated very extensively in Spain and Portugal. Being polygamous, a male branch if engrafted on a female tree and the male ones are extirpated when numerous. The timber is excellent, and I am persuaded this tree would be a real acquisition to S. Carolina. It comes easily from seed.

9. The chinese Persimmon Diospyros kaki, far superior to the D. virginiana, because tamed and cultivated from time immemorial. It has found its way to Europe as a green house plant.

10. The Euphoria Litchi, the favourite fruit of the Chinese, the seeds to be had from Canton

16. The Fraxinus ornus of Italy is a tall tree with flowe the blossom of the Chionanthus; the manna used in medicine is furnished by the incisions of its bark. It will furnish it in S. Carolina. It thrives in Paris from whence it can be procured and where it is called Frêne à fleurs — but does not afford manna in such

northern latitude. 17. Erythrina corallodendron. 18. Erythrina crista galli.

19. Phytolacca dioica. These three highly ornamental trees grow and thrive in the open air in Lisbon without requiring any attention, all three reach the heigt of from 20 to 30 feet.

21. You could procure from England the Arundo arenaria, to cover and keep together your loose sands on the sea coast.

22. Portugal could furnish you the sweet lemon and the sweet lime, sweet and refreshing fruits more healthy than the water melons in hot seasons. Limon doce — Lima doca — are their Portugues names

23. Naples could furnish you more than twenty varieties of figs superior to any thing of the sort that I have seen in America. Twigs could be sent in sand to engraft here on your fig trees, or to propagate by themselves.
