Cotarai SHow.-Priday, June 6: Darlington Horticultural. 



+•* 



The late Indian mail has brought the gratifying 



Mr. Fortunf/s 



and important 

 labours 



intelligence that 



supply of 



the finest Tea 



in procuring a 

 plant*, and experienced Chinese workmen, has been 

 brought to a successful issue. He had arrived at 

 Calcutta with eight Tea manufacturers from, the far- 

 lamed Tea districts of the north — the first' who have 

 ever left their native country from these districts 

 together with a large assortment of implements used 



there 



had also 



in the manufacture of Tea. He 



brought in good order 1749 young Tea plants, and 



about 17,400 germinating seeds ; a great success, 



Accomplished thus: He had 14 Ward's cases for 



the young plants. Between each row of plants 



In resuming the observations we last week offered 

 upon the climate of Great Britain it will be useful 

 to glance at the map. 



Beginning with a few spots on the southern 

 coa . and near its eastern extremity, we find Folk- 

 stone, Hastings, and there may be a few others less 

 known, which show the first indications of the ten- 

 dencies we meet with in a more confirmed character 

 afterwards. Then come Chichester, Southampton, 

 New Forest, Western Dorset, South and West 

 Somerset, with inland and Northern Devon. These 

 form the first range of an improved climate, on pro- 

 ceeding to the westward from the straits of Dover, 

 and will be found to follow an irregular line, at first 

 skirting the south coast, and then tendii inland 

 to the north-west, crossing the Bristol Channel 

 south of Mendip and cutting off the whole coast of 

 South Wales as far as Pembroke. This line, con- 

 tinued to the coast of Wexford and thence to the 

 Shannon, will probably be found to comprise all 

 that can pretend to the name of a mild climate in 

 the British isles. 



Much might be added in the way of illustration, 

 both in particularising many places besides those 

 mentioned, as well as in giving instances from 

 horticulture, and even from native botany, in sup- 

 port of these remarks-. It is to be hoped that many 

 persons who know the districts alluded to, will 

 still more investigate the subject, and favour u* 

 with authentic examples ; for the present a gene- 

 ralising view was thought to be most needed. 



It will have been observed that in its passage 

 from the Southampton Water to the Bristol Channel, 

 the imaginary line above suggested will nearly 

 follow the direction, if not the outline of the New 

 Korest, the Wiltshire chalk escarpment, and the 

 Mendip hills. This remarkable chain of elevations 

 nd formerly desert tracts, has had some influence, 

 in a physical sense (and perhaps in others), ip 

 cutting off the south-west of England, and making 

 it in many respects a separate and a different country 

 from the midland, and even the other southern 

 counties. In its farming and general rural economy, 

 as well as in other particulars, it is still so in a great 

 degree. 



It only remains to take a brief notice of 



he peculiarities of our climate, as compared with 



that of the continent. Where geographical 



divisions only are necessary to be stated, a general 



seeds 



large quantities of seeds were sown m 

 when the cases were planted. Two other cases 

 — made to take round some Camellias for the 

 Botanic Garden, Calcutta, were filled with seeds 

 mixed with a little damp earth. The Camellias 



and their roots covered with the 



China 1 view will suffice to show the resemblances- or tha 



were planted, 



same mixture of Tea seeds and earth.

had in each box a mass of seeds, say three-fourths 

 seeds and one-fourth earth. In this state the cases 

 were brought round to Calcutta ; when they arrived 

 the Camellias were gently lifted out in excellent 

 order, and the whole mass of Tea seeds was 

 just beginning to germinate. It i* estimated that 

 the number of germinating seeds in these two cases 

 is 16,000, or perhaps much more. Mr. Fortune 

 was about to start immediately for the north-west 

 provinces^ the Government having furnished a 

 steamer to take up all the plants, implements, and 

 Cliinamen. 



It is not in India alone that important measures 

 are in progress for the increase of our colonial 

 resources. Long since, Colonel Reid, while Go- 

 vernor of the Bermudas,, succeeded in directing the 

 attention of the inhabitants of these islands to the 

 improvement of their cultivated plants ; and we now 

 find that his example is followed by his successor. 

 The following is an extract from fhe speech of 

 Governor Elliott on recently opening the legisla- 

 tive session in the Bermudas— islands remarkably 

 well adapted to the growth of the Orange and 



Lemon, and quite capable of entering into compe- 

 tition \«ritK tin*. iiAr..« . << T f „*:it ,>«♦«_*„;.« 4-u~ ; —

differences between our insular position and that of 

 j,he countries nearest to us in Europe. 



The same gradual change from a drier to a hotter 

 summer temperature alternating with an equally 

 dry and colder winter temperature, is observable on 

 the southern shores of the English Channel, that 

 has been pointed out as characteristic of the northern. 

 The maritime districts of Picardy are milder than 

 those of the interior even lying to the south of them; 

 those of Normandy are milder than those of Picardy ; 

 and Brittany, especially the western part of it, is 

 aid to enjoy a climate like that of Cornwall. The 

 average improvement in latitude of a degree and a 

 half, more or less, tells but little in this case : it is 

 not sufficiently hot to dry up the damps with which 

 the air is, in common with our own, charged by its 

 proximity to the Atlantic, while the general south- 

 westerly direction of the winds blowing up Channel 

 affects only Brittany and the rest of the coast, 

 leaving the interior of France to its ordinary dry, 

 hot and cold, continental climate. The existtnee of 

 a rising land with such a climate at the back of the 

 French maritime provinces exposes them to a«degree 

 of occasional cold in winter, to which ours, though 

 to the north of them, are rarely subject. 



The circumstances which have been here sketched 

 out will, it is presumed, go far to explain the 

 seeming anomalies of the climate of the south and 

 west of the British Isles. With regard to the mid- 

 land counties, it is notorious that their climate has 

 more of a continental character* whether in cold 

 winters, dry summers, or more steady weather. 

 Were the culture of the Vine to be- ever seriously 

 attempted for profit in England it is piobable 

 that the chief success of the experiment would 

 be found in the south midland counties or; 

 in the eastern, — » of course on drv sails and 

 sunny aspects ; 



western. A- generally stiller atmosphere, which i&
