THE ET CETERA CHRONICLES - TEA ANYONE?

TEA, ANYONE ? Richard A. Odom of eastern Laurens County tried his hand at growing tea plants.  He obtained some plants from the U.S. Department of Agriculture in 1880.  Twenty years later, Odom was harvesting abundant supplies of tea, which he supplied to his family and friends.  The Daily Herald, Delphos, OH, April 24, 1900.
