Utei'bms Bulgaria. Natural Order: Berberidacece — Berberry Family. 
ROWN in our gardens as an ornament, this graceful, bushy 
shrub is very generally known. The leaves are a dark green, 
with serrated edges, each notch being bristly. The flowers 
are yellow, hanging in small clusters. The fruit is brilliant 
and attractive, of a bright scarlet in color, oblong in shape, 
anc l appearing more like pendulous groups of coral ear-drops, 
i than anything else. The leaves, as well as fruit, have a sharp acid 
taste, the latter being frequently used for making jelly, while from the 
m-y 
root can be prepared a yellow dye.
