The firft is fuppofed to be the 
fame that is new cultivated 
in Smyrna for a trim foil dye. 
Grows in the fouthern parts of 
F ranee, Spain, and Portugal. 
* This plant is a native of the warmed parts of Europe, and is better calculated for the cli- 
mate of the Floridas than either of Holland or England, where it is cultivated; but principally 
in the former, from whence we are chiefly fupplied with this valuable dye. The chemiits fay, 
and with reafon, that the warmth of the climate exalts the colour. If fo, it may be well worth 
the attention of the pubiick to encourage the planting of fo valuable an article of commerce in 
a climate and foil that feems fo much better adapted to it, where the land is cheap, and where 
vegetation is fo much quicker and more luxuriant; and while we encourage the growth of it in 
cur colonies, we may have the advantage of manufacturing this valuable commodity at home, 
for which at prefect we pay Jums fcarcely credible, to the Dutch.
