In fome few places they have fmall
fenced fpots near their houfes, in
which they cultivate cabbage, pariley,
fpinach, turnips, patientia, potatoes,
and ibme other roots and vegetables,
together with flax and hemp. Fruit
trees are looked for in vain, which
is not to be wondered at, iince itorms
and hurricanes are here very frequent.
Thefe have given rife to the
name o f Storm-coail {JVedrakiJia)
that has been given to fome places in
Iceland.
Thefe ftormshave likewife prevented
the growth o f fir-trees, and Norway

had planted here, wliofe tops feemed
to wither as foon as they were about
two feet high, and then they ceafed
growing.
That wood has formerly grown in
Iceland, can be proved from the Sagas
or tradition ilories of Landnama, K.i-
alneiinga, Svarfdala, and Egill Skalla-
grimfonar. It is likewife proved by
^ Pinus picea, Linn, and pinus abies, Linn.
