ARNOLD ARBORETUM NOTES. 



Crataegus Phjenopyrum or Cordata 

 is in flower this weel;. Hawthorns be- 

 gin to flower in the Arboretum before 

 the first of May and they have been 

 flowering here almost continuously 

 ever since. In a month some of the 

 species will begin to ripen their fruit, 

 and on others fruit little shrivelled or 

 discolored by the winter will still be 

 on the branches in April. There are 

 not therefore many weeks in the year 



in which Hawthorns in this climate 

 cannot furnish either flowers or fruit. 

 In the tropics some trees produce flow- 

 ers almost continuously during the 

 year, but in cold countries like New 

 England no other group of plants has 

 such a long season of flowers except 

 the Viburnums, .and none of the Vibur- 

 nums retain their fruit into the winter. 



When in bloom some of the Ameri- 

 can Hawthorns are objects of great 

 beauty, and only the fruit of some 

 Crabapples is more conspicuous than 

 that of the large-fruited Hawthorns. As 

 they grow naturally over a large part 

 of Eastern North America and more 

 sparingly in the West there are few 

 parts of this country or Canada where 

 some of the species cannot be sucess- 

 fully grown. All the Thorns thrive in 

 cultivation and respond to a generous 

 treatment with larger size, more tree- 

 like habit and handsomer foliage and 

 fruit. 



Crataegus Phfenopyrum, which ap- 

 pears at the head of this paragraph, 

 the Washington Thorn, cultivated per- 

 haps more frequently 75 years ago 

 than at present, is a slender tree grow- 

 ing under favorable conditions to a 

 height of 25 or 30 feet; the leaves are 

 nearly triangular in shape, not more 

 than two inches long and an inch and 

 a half wide, and are dull green; in the 

 autumn they turn bright scarlet. The 

 flowers are creamy white, smaller than 

 those of most Hawthorns, and are ar- 

 ranged in small compact clusters. Pew if 

 any of the American species have less 

 attractive flowers. The fruit, too, is 

 small, barely more than a quarter of 

 liberal response to this appeal now, 

 when we are compelled just to mark 

 time, but with confidence that the 

 trade will make an immediate advance 

 possible, and, necessarily, profitable. 

 an inch in diameter; and the Washing- 

 ton Thorn owes its value as a garden 

 plant to the brilliancy of its autumn 

 foliage and to the beauty of its abund- 

 ant fruits long persistent on the 

 branches. 



In earlier days of American gardens 

 Crataegus Phsenopyrum was much 

 used as a hedge plant.
