OCTANDRIA MONOGY NIA. 
A native of North America, growing in 
low grounds, from New Jersey to Virginia. 
It has been long introduced, and grows with 
us to a moderate-sized bushy deciduous 
shrub. Its flowers come forth in the spring, 
and are generally succeeded by berries of 
the size of a small grape, and of a pleasant 
flavour. It may be increased by seeds or 
layers: they should be planted in peat and 
loam, and are perfectly hardy.
