Canadensis, Ton*. & Gr. Th. 



A shrub or small tree. Fruit variable in size and flavor, frequently 

 delicious, and so well known to the birds that one can seldom find it 

 well ripened. Undoubtedly horticulturists could develop this into a 

 profitable fruit, but having already so many choice kinds, it is ques- 

 tionable if there would be any immediate profit. It is well, however, 

 to remember that all our choice fruits have come from verv ordinary 

 wild sorts. Common.
