 berries of the genteeler gardens, and often trained to a head for 

 a place among the low Frutices in borders. It is not without its 

 medical virtues. The diftilled water of the flowers is commend-

 winter. I found it fo in two young plants, in one winter, whilft 

 thofc in the hedges were deciduous. It flowers in July and
