 or oblong leaves, whitish below, rounded at both ends and an 

 inch or an inch and a half long. It has honey-yellow flowers, 

 often tinged with purple, and red twin berries.

 the western part of the state.

A low shrub with erect, stoutish stems, one to three feet high.

 Found in cold boggy swales in the mountains of the extreme

This shrub has numerous varieties in cultivation and is highly 

 esteemed for ornamental planting in the East and also in 

 Europe.
