lent quality for the production of every vegetable 
fuited to the climate, and feeming peculiarly adapt- 
ed for the cultivation of Vines (Vitis vinifera), 
Olives (Olea Europea), the Almond tree (Amyg- 
dalus communis), Fig (Ficus carica), and perhaps 
the Pomegranate, (Punica granatum), as well as 
Peafches (Amyg. Perjjjpa), Prunus, Pyrus, of every 
variety. I palled agaih fteep rocky afcents, and 
then rich levels, where grew many trees and plants 
common in Pennfylvania, New-York and even 
Canada, as Pious ftrobus, Pin. fylveftris, Pin. abies, 
Acer faccharinum, Acer ftriatum, f. Pennfylvani- 
cum, Populus tremula, Betula nigra, Juglans alba. 
See.; but what fee ms remarkable, the yellow Jef- 
famine (Bignonia Temper virens), which is killed by 
a very Bight froft in the open air in Pennfylvania, 
here, on the fummits of the Cherokee mountains 
afibciates with the Canadian vegetables, and ap- 
pears roving with them in perfed bloom and gaiety; 
as like wife Haleiia diptera, and Hal. tetraptera, 
mountain Stewartia, Styrax, Ptelea, iEfculus pavia; 
but all thefe bear our hardelt frofts in Pennfylvania* 
Now I enter a charming narrow vale, through 
which flows a rapid large creek, on whofe banks 
are happily aflociated the fhrubs already recited, 
together with the following; Staphylasa, Euoni- 
rnus Americana, Hamamelis, Azalea, various fpe« 
cies, Ariftolochia frutefeens, f. odoratiffima, which 
rambles over the trees and fhrubs on the prolific 
banks of thefe mountain brooks. Palled through 
magnificent high forefts, and then came upon the 
borders of an ample meadow on the left,, embroi- 
dered by the lhade of a high circular amphitheatre 
of hills, the circular ridges riling magnificently one 
over the other. On the green turfy bafes of thefe 
afcents appear the ruins of a town of the ancients*
