But I was simply dumfounded by a final development in the same line. Quite the most abundant carpet in the forest here is the uva-ursi or bear-berry. Its beautiful evergreen leaves and bright red berries cover a quarter of the ground in dry woods and are found in great acre beds.
Deep, light loam, if on chalk all the better, and a fairly warm and sheltered situation, would seem to suit the Arbutus best. ARCTOSTAPHYLOS UVA-URSI. Bearberry. Britain. A neat shrub of trailing habit, and with flowers resembling those of the Arbutus, but much smaller. The leaves are entire, dark green in colour, and about an inch long, and obovate or oblong in shape.
We did not see any of these, but we did see the post-graduate evidences of their diet, and were somewhat surprised to learn that it included much fruit, especially of the uva-ursi. We also saw proof that they had eaten part of a Moose; probably they had killed it. Coyote abounded now, and these we saw from time to time.
ANCHUSA officinalis. YELLOW ANCHUSA, or BLUE-FLOWERED BUGLOSS. The juice of the corolla gives out to acids a beautiful green. ANTHEMIS tinctoria. The flowers afford a shining yellow. ANTHYLLIS vulneraria. KIDNEY-VETCH. The whole plant gives out a yellow, which is in use for colouring the garments of the country- people. Linn. ARBUTUS uva-ursi.
