Foliage is silvery grey with metallic lustre. The tall 
twiggy shrubs are wreathed in misty flowers of soft- 
est yellow in April. Later in the summer we find the 
stems covered with scarlet fruits the size of Currants.

edible, being highly valued for jams and jellies. The 
Indians used them extensively, preserving them by 
drying. Plant several together to be assured of pol- 
lenization. Price { yr. plants 25c each; 3 for 50c
