The vine during the whole of our summer may be said to be in a feeble state with regard to health ; and its fruit, except in very extraordinary cases, always contains a supera- bundance of acid. The gigantic pine of the north, when transported into the equatorial climates, becomes a de- generated dwarf ; and a great number of instances of the same kind might be brought forward. Much has been w ritten, and many very ingenious re- marks have been made by different philosophers upon what have been... called the habits of plants. Thus, in transplanting a tree, it dies or becomes unhealthj', un- less its position with respect to the sun is the same as before. The seeds brought from warm climates germi- nate here much more early in the season than the same species brought from cold climates. The apple tree from Siberia, where the short summer of three mouths immediately succeeds the long winter, in England, usu- ally puts forth its blossoms in the first year of its trans- plantation, on the appearance of mild weather; and is often destroyed by the late frosts of the spring.
