Culture, $c. This is one of the most hardy of European shrubs, and one 
of the few which grow in the open gardens of Petersburg and Stockholm, 
without protection during winter. It flowers about Petersburg in June, and 
about London in April, having begun to put out its leaves in January. In 
Siberia, Pallas informs us, the berries, though bitter, nauseous, and purgative, 
are eaten by the common people. The wood, which, when deprived of its 
bark, is beautifully veined, is used for walking-sticks; and the plant being 
frequented by the Méloe vesicatorius LZ. (Cantharis vesicatéria Geoff), that 
insect is collected from it for the apothecaries. In British gardens, the plant 
is very common, and it is valued for its early leafing and flowering. It will grow 
in any soil, and almost in any situation. It is readily propagated by cuttings.
