      The Fxo 4 . tin <* Gardens of Mexico . — -According to the Abbe Clavigero , when the Mexicans were brought into subjection to the Calhuan and Tepanecah nations , and confined ; to the iniserabJe little islands on the lake , they ceased for some years to cultivate the land , because they had none until necessity and industry together taught them to forna moveable fields and gardens , which floated op the waters of the lake . The mode of forming these of wicker-work , water plants , and mud , may be easily conceived . The boat , or basis , is commonly eight perches long , by three broad . They first

      cultivated the maize and useful plants only ; but afterwards " there .. were among them gardens of flowers and odoriferous plants , which were employed in the worship of the gods , affd served for the recreation of the nobles /* At present they cultivate flowers and every sort of garden herbs upon them , all of which thrive surprisingly . In the largest gardens there is commonly a little tree , and even a little hut , to shelter the cultivator , and defend him from rain or the sun . When the owner of a garden wishes to change his situation , to remove from a disagreeable neighbour , or

      come nearer to his own family , he gets into his little vessel , and by his own strength alone , if the garden is small , or with aid , if it is large , he tows it after him , and conducts it where he pleases , with the little tree and hut on it . The part of the lake where the gardens are is a place of infinite recreation , where the senses receive the highest possible gratification . Humboldt says these gardens still exist ; that the bean , pea , apple , artichoke , cauliflowers , and a great variety of other culinary plants , * ire cultivated on them . —From the Gardiner ' s Record .
