Loudon, v. 2., 874. 
Several flourishing trees in various parts of the pomacea 
pleasure ground and arboretum; planted by my 
father. 
A beautiful little tree (for it always, here at least 
Poo tne torm of a tree, not of a shrub), very 
ornamental in April, with its profusion of 
delicate white flowers, and in Autumn with 
its crimson leaves. Its fruits are much in favour 
with small birds, which soon strip the tree of 
them. 
Bullfinches also are very fond of the buds in 
early spring. 
This according to Torrey and Gray, is a very 
variable plant in its own country; indeed those 
authors admit that it is sometimes difficult to 
distinguish from the European Amelanchier 
vulgaris.
