6191. OLIVE, Adapted to America.—

The olive tree * * * would surely succeed
in your country, and would be an infinite blessing
after some fifteen or twenty years. The
caper would also probably succeed, and would
offer a very great and immediate profit.—
To E. Rutledge. Washington ed. ii, 180. Ford ed., iv, 410.
