Description
Summary:tucking 2 ppl Sometimes.in the hollows of the barrens, as also in other situation, a bed of dwarf juniper is met with, which goes in Newfoundland by the name of "tucking bushes." These grow about breast-high with strong branches at right angles to the stem and stiffly interlacing, their tops being flat and level, as if they had been mown off. They are so stiff, that in some places one can almost walk upon them; but as this is not quite possible, that labour of wading through them may be more easily conceived that described.
