Cuhivated throughout all America, and sometimes found 

 as it were in a native state. It would take up too 

 much room to mention all the numberless varieties ;

 Mandan nation, on the Missouri, deserves particular 

 attention, as it ripens sooner and produces as excel- 

 lent ears as any sort I know. It would be calculated 

 to cultivate in climates not quite so warm as all the 

 other sorts require.
