MEXICAN RESOURCES. 



CEREALS, ALIMENTAL PLANTS, ETC.

It will only be necessary to call attention to the following list, to have it made 

 evident that there is hardly a fruit in the known world that has not found, or cannot 

 find, a congenial home in Mexico. 



The most valuable, and those least known to dwellers in the north, will be found 

 described after their respective appellations. To mention all would be to enumerate 

 nearly every variety cultivated in both habitable zones, and far exceed the limits of 

 this work, or, indeed, of any book not specially devoted to horticulture. 



While every fruit can be grown in Mexico, it is a well-known fact that those 

 indigenous to other countries do not here j^reserve their original fine flavor, the 

 peaches, pears, etc., being hard, coarse, and, in a measure, flavorless.
