worthy of his attention, in a commercial point 
of view. There are two public institutions in 
this country for the reception of vegetable pro- 
ductions brought from abroad. The Board of 
Agriculture, for grass, and whatever. belongs to 
the economy of animals or man: and the Hor- 
ticultural Society, for seeds or cuttings of fruit 
trees, exotic plants, &c. where every attention 
will be paid to their growth and culture. 
Woods, bark, (dye woods), many are highly va- 
luable in commerce, and much in request. 
Lichens, (moss), some produce fine and perma- 
nent dyes, as the orchella, and are very valu- 
able; others are medicinal, and continually 
in request.
