This plant rifes to the height of fix or feven feet, with one and fometimes feveral ftraight oy 
{tems from one root, and produces {pikes of pentapetalous white flowers at the ends of the 
branches. That which diftinguifhes this and gives it the preference to all the other fpecies of it 
is, the refplendence of its {carlet panicles, the colour of which begins to appear in July with a 
tincture of yellow; but. as the fruit ripens the fcarlet heightens. The berries that compofe the 
panicles are yellow, thick-{fet with numerous filaments or fmall threads of a we or keateiet 
colour, which nothing can excel, efpecially when the fun fhines upon it. 
N. B. A warm fummer is requifite to perfect its colour in our climate. They will rife frou 
feeds, but are more eafily increafed by fuckers, peti they are much inclined to produce.

“The ‘Cockfpur Thorn. - 
This tree grows ufually to the height of fixteen feet or more, with a ftraight flem and 
_regular-fhaped head. In the fpring it produces large clufters of flowers, which in ‘October are 
_fucceeded by bunches of a red fruit of the fize and form of thofe of the Italian Azerol. 
It is very proper to plant in parks, as well for its handfome appearance as the ben: 
affords the deer, which delight to browfe on the fruit. It is a hardy plant, and may be raucc 
from feeds with.as much facility as the common hawthorn, and deferves to be propagated pre- 
-ferable to others of this genus. | 7
