there is no section of the Pacific coast where the fruits of the temperate zone grow in as great luxuriance and rich-;ness as in the belt of laud borderingupon Puget Sound. Wc notice that a Portland nurseryman has introduced for aalc three huudred trees of the Japanese persuasion, erroneously called the date plum, which is free from the j astringent tahtu of the American persimmon. It is a native of the great i island of Japan, the climate of which i* about the same as that of western 1 Washington Territory. For this reason, we hope our fruit growers will ex-• . • « • . #«•aW ------ * ~ '/---I---establish the superiority of our soil and cliiuate for that class of fruits over allother parts of the Pacific coast. We hope that Messrs. Swan Lawton, the representative! men of this important j industry in Thurston and King counties, will give the Japaueso persimmon a fair trial at their earliest opportunity, a* we are satisfied it will soon become an important article of commerce. The establishment of fruit-drying machines in the several Sound counties is already a fixed fact; and, with their aid, wemay soon expect heavy shipments of dried fruits to be made from our principal towns. Therein big money in it.
