THE HUCKlEBERRY.

The huckleberry, BURBERRY and wortle-
berry are the several known varieties of
a hardy little berry of commerce. They
| are pleasant and wholesome fruits, not
very pronounced in their action as they
contain little but seeds, sugar and the
| fiavoring matter which makes them as
agreeable as most tastes. Containing but
little acid they require very little sugar
to satisfy the sweetest tooth.
The huckleberry grows profusely on
hillsides and mountain clearinss. in
marshes. and often where the soil barely
covers the rocky lodges.
OF the three kinds the huckleberry is
the most common in the markets-the
burberry is sweeter and softer and does
