[The porsimon, or Virginian date plum, grows to an average height of 451 t. It is indigenous to the southern states of North America. Its flowers are pale yellow. A powerful spirit, and a kind of cider, are made from tho fruit, which is reddish, and larger than the sloe. Tho keg fig, a not infrequent object in French and English greenhouses, is a native of Japan, and from it is made tho French sweetmeat figuosoaques. In China the fruit of tho keg-fig serves the purpose of a dried sweetmeat. — Ed. Globe.]
