The oil of Wintergreens used to flavour drugs, 

 and also by perfumers, is obtained from the ber- 

 ries of O. procu'mbens. Chiefly by layers and 

 speds. Procu'mbens requires a moist peat-soil ; 

 Shii'llon will grow in any soil. The fruit is prized 

 for its flavour so much by the natives, that they 

 make it into bread tor winter use. The green- 

 house kinds require peat, and similar treatment, 

 with the exception of a temperature from 33 to 

 4o 3 in winter.
