RUSTY NANNYBERRY (V. rufidulum, Raf.) is easily dis- 

 tinguished by the rusty hairs on its winter buds, petioles, and 

 the veins on the lower side of the leaf. It is quite as handsome 

 (though not yet as well known) as the smooth species just 

 described. It has white flowers and large, bright blue berries. 

 It grows from Virginia to Florida, and west to Illinois and 

 Texas. In gardens it has proved hardy in Boston.
