Cultivation- of Tea in Califobnia. — California is destined to add tea to the long list of productions that her soil and climate is capable of producing. The foot-hills can produce the tea tree, and the experiment of Herr Schnell at his plantation in El Dorado County, on the red hills near Q-old Hill, in growing a fine article of tea, has been a grand success, and the first crop of tea has been drunk of and pronounced by good judges to be fully equal, if not superior to the best teas imported. His plantation is in excellent order, and numerous Japanese plants are thriving finely ; his Japs are well pleased with the country, and are industrious and frugal ; and this experiment will prove the long* neglected foot-hills to be the most desirable lands in the State.
