and dull orange-red in color. At Thompson’s Mills, this Crataegus 
shows considerable variation in size of thorns, blossoms, fruits, etc. 
Crataegus Beadlei occurs mainly in woods at Thompson’s Mills. 
This thorn was first described in 1900 by Ashe, who found it at 
Salisbury, North Carolina.* The Thompson’s Mills record of 
this thorn makes it an addition to the flora of Georgia. 
In many respects the species of Crataegus are among our

hardiest and most ornamental native shrubs and trees, and they 
deserve to occupy a prominent place in the adornment of all 
home grounds and parks. These shrubs in most instances become 
strikingly lovely during the season of bloom. A number of species 
are worthy of cultivation for their foliage effects alone. In autumn 
the abundant orange and red haws again render most species 
very attractive.
