 number, than those of the common black- 

 berry. It is generally found trailing on the 

 banks of hedge-rows, or in hazel copses, sel- 

 dom growing above a foot high. This is a 

 berry of excellent flavour, and well deserving 

 a place iu cultivated grounds, as it must be 

 equally beneficial to society that our native 

 fruits should be improved, as well as that new 

 varieties should be imported from climates 

 that can give bat little hope of their thriving 

 without the aid of artificial heat.
