Shrubs.

Ground plan ts.

The Whortle Berry, or Blue Berry (vaccin/um corymbosum) grows in great abundance

in many districts, in some districts they are in such plenty, as to furnish Lhe swine with their chief food for several weeks.

The Cranberry (vaccinium oxycoccus) grows on a small low creeping vine close to the ground, in the edge of marshes adjoining the upland, and in low, wet, poor, sandy land; There is another species of cranberry not so large, nor so pleasant a fruit, but growing in clusters on a very pretty looking shrub, it is very ornamental, the fruit remaining on long after the leaves are fallen, in large bunches of a bright scarlet colour.

The Raspberry (rubus idwus) is found in the greatest plenty, wherever the forest is destroyed by fire, or the timber cut down, and the land left uncultivated, the first thing it produces is the raspberry, which soon covers the whole surface of such places

The running Brambleberry (rubus mo/uccanus) are sometimes found in cold moist situations, but are not very common, nor any where in great plenty.

The Strawberry (fragaria vesca) is very common in lands that have been long cleared without being cultivated, and are also found in open spots in the forest, it has been remarked, that wherever the strawberry grows before the soil is cultivated, it afterwards throws up white clover in great abundance.

The Hazle Nut (cory/us ave/lana.) is common in many parts of the Island.

The Bayberry (myrica cerifera) is a small shrub, seldom rising above two feet and a half

The Ginseng (panax trifo/inum) is found in great plenty in the forest, where the timber is large, and the soil is good,

Dwarf Elder ( ) is very common in rich deep soil.

The Maiden Hair (adiantus pedatuus) is very common in the woods among the evergreens.

The Sarsaparilla (ara/ia) is found in great abundance, and from the warm nature of the soil is said to be much better than any to be found on the Continent, within five degrees of the same latitude.

Pigeon Berries ( ) grow in little clusters on a small plant, are of a bright scarlet, and in some districts are in great plenty, they have a mawkish sweet taste, and fatten common fowls very fast.

The Night Shade (so/anum nigrum) is much too common, and has the same poisonous effect here as in England.

Besides these, there are several kinds of wild fruit, and many shrubs, and a variety of plants that are not distinguished by any but trifling names, some of which, are much better known to the Indians, who frequently cure their disorders by means of herbs, without the assistance of any medical person.
