separate with the greatest ease, and have a very

One tree in the pleasure ground, near the south 
west end of the house; the other in the arboretum 
near the tulip trees; both planted by my father in 
LOSk. 
He had them under the name of the Azarole, 
which they certainly are not. Both are in the 
form of trees, though not above ten or twelve feet 
high ; and in general form, and the character of 
their trunk and bark, resemble such specimens of 
the common hawthorne as have grown into trees. 
The foliage is of a soft grey tint, very agreeable to 
the eye in contrast with the greens of other trees ; 
and the fruits, which are very abundant, are of 
a particularly beautiful coral-red. This year 
(1868), they are in such profusion as to be ex- 
ceedingly ornamental and to attract general 
attention.
