 BERBERIS REPENS. 



Claw. Order. 



HEXANDRIA MONOGYNJA 



This is a native of North-West America, 

 where it was originally found by Lewis 

 and Clarke. It has been introduced se- 

 veral years, but is slow in growth and 

 difficult of increase. It also appears not 

 to bear our winters well in the open 

 ground, and therefore should have the pro- 

 tection of a frame, and ought to be planted 

 in loam and peat soil.
