It was raised on the plantation of Mrs. Atzeroth, situated on the Indian River, Florida, from plants furnished her by the Department. The berry, we are informed, was fully developed, and the bean equal in appearance and flavor to the finest imported varieties. We do not know that this news we be acceptable to coffee growers in Brazil and other countries. Of course it will be some time yet before the United States can produce sufficient quantities for exportation, but if planters- and we may be sure that there will now very soon be a number of them at work-can grow enough for home consumption, a very great difference will be made in the coffee trade between America and Brazil. The planters in the latter country will have to pay more attention than ever to cultivation of the plant in order to continue to produce "the finest berries in the world." --European Mail
