106 The Natural Historic 



The Barherry-Tree, or Bush, whereof we have two sorts 

 which thrive well, viz. one with, and the other without Stones, 

 wherein consists the difference; the colour and the taste of 

 the Fruit beinej the same. The Flowers are of a yellow 

 colour, and gTow in clusters upon long Steins, after which 

 are produced long slender red Berries, when they are ripe. 

 The Leaves spring forth in March, and the Flowers in Au- 

 gust. The Bark and Leaves open Obstructions, and are of 

 singular Use in the Jau7idice. The Fruit is very cooling in 

 Fevers, grateful to the Stomach, and causeth a good Appetite. 



The Rose-Tree, and it's Kinds. There are none to be met 

 with growing Spontaneous in this Province. These Trees 

 have been brought from Europe, and other Parts, and are to 

 be met with in most Planters Gardens, especially the common 

 white and red Rose, but few of the other sorts. 



The Rosemary is not a Spontaneous Shrub in Carolina, as 

 in France, Spain, and many other parts of Europe, in the 

 same Latitude; but is to be met with in most of their Gar- 

 dens, and thrives well. 



There are many other Fruits in this Country, that I am a 

 Stranger to, which are beneficial and advantagious to the 

 Planters, not only for their own Use, but likewise in feeding 

 their Swine, and makeing them exceeding fat, and as well 

 tasted as any in the World.
