Agricultural Bureau Receives Nine Boxes From Syria Expedition

The Agricultural Bureau has received nine four boxes and two barrels with assorted steeds and cuttings from late Syria. Items were collected by a former Commissioner through a friend and include olive branches, wheat, fruit, vegetables, and medicinal plants. Some items were procured from trees near the ancient Temple of Solomon. Voyage losses reduced the yield but the remaining goods promise value greater than the small investment.
