The new hydropathic cook-book : with recipes for cooking on hygienic principles : containing also a philosophical exposition of the relations of food to health : the chemical elements and proximate constitution of alimentary principles : the nutritive properties of all kinds of aliments : the relative value of vegetable and animal substances : the selection and preservation of dietetic materials, etc., four to ten feet high, growing spontaneouslyon hard gravelly soils, and in cool, moistsituations. The flowers are small andvery beautiful. The fruit (fig. 53) isvery acid and astringent, and has thus farbeen used chiefly in preserves, pickles,tarts, etc. Proper cultivation would nodoubt soon develop a more pleasant quality of fiuit. The bark and wood are employed incoloring yellow. The beauty of its flow-er, and its rapid growth and durability,render it useful for making hedges. The Buffalo berry, or Shepherdia (). is also an ornamental shrub, whosesmall, round, acid fruit is regarded as for preserves. Like many othersour fruits, it needs the renovating influ-ences of intelligent fruit-culture. The Cranberry (Oxycoccus macrocarpus)(fig. 55), grows wild in marshes, mead-ows, swamps, etc., but by being cultivat-ed on high land it has produced largerand better fruit. The berries are verysour, but are highly valued for tarts, jel-lies, and sauces. They are also excellent. BARBERRY FRUIT.
