The poem Is evi dently of British origin: m--'- Potatoes came from far Virginia; Parsley was sent us from Sardinia; French beans, low growing on the earth, To distant .ndla trace their birth; But scarlet runners, gay and tall, That climb upon your garden wall A cheerful sight all around In South Africa- were found. .

The south of Europe lays Its claim To beans; but some from Egypt came, Th .radishes, both thin and stout, Native, ot China are, no doubt; But turnips, carrot and ea kale, With Celery so crisp and pale, Are products of our own fair land.
