A very handsome genus, suiñciently hardy to
bear our severest winters, if guarded from
cold cutting winds, and unusually sharp frosts,
by a mat. _ The flowers, which appear in profusion
during summer, are succeeded by an
abundance of large, globular, reddish-yellow,
eatable fruit, of an insipid though not unpleasant
taste. It succeeds best in common
garden loam, and is easily increased by seeds
or la3^ers. The best situation for it is against
a south wall, where it grows freely, and looks
well. Synonyme: 1, Còrnus gr á n d i s . See

BERBERIDACEÍE. Bérheris is the principal genus
of this order, the species of which are all ornamental.
BERBERÍS, L i n n , From berberys, its name in
Arabia. Linn, 6, Or. 2, Nat. Or. Berberidácece.
This genus comprises the common
barberry ; all the species are ornamental, and
thrive in common garden soil, but prefer
one ratlier light ; cuttings or layers take root
freely in the open ground. The fruit makes
an agreeable jelly, and, as a medicine, is considered
an agreeable and grateful astringent
acid. The bark of the root boiled is used in
Poland to die yellow"; the colour is best when
boiled in ley. Synonymes: 1, c M t r i a ; 2,
