1034 ARBORETUM AND FRUTICETUM. PART III. 
Spec. Char., §c. Leaves broad-ovate, acuminated, gq , 
sharply serrated, glabrous. Petioles with narrow S 
curled margins. Corymbs terminal, sessile. Flowers _. 
white. Fruit black. Serratures of leaves hooked “= 
a little, and somewhat cartilaginous. (Don’s Mill., 
iii. p.440.) A native of North America, from New 
England to Carolina, among hedges and on the 
borders of woods; and found throughout Canada 
to the Saskatchawan ; forming a shrub from 6 ft. to 
10 ft. high. It was introduced in 1761, and flowers in 
July. In British gardens, it forms a robust shrub, 
or a handsome small tree, flowering freely, and pro- 
ducing abundance of fruit, which is greedily eaten by 
birds ; and, from the smallness of its size, and other properties, this species is 
a very desirable one for the pleasure-grounds of small suburban gardens. 
It is propagated by layers, or by seeds; and the two following sorts appear 
to us to be nothing more than varieties of it. Price of plants, in the Lon- 
don nurseries, ls. 6d. each; at Bollwyller, | franc; and at New York, 25 
cents.

branous, crenately serrated, ending in a short acumen. Petioles marginate, 
glabrous. Cymes sessile. Berries ovate or roundish. Flowers white, as 
in the rest of the species. Berries dark blue. (Don’s Mill, iii. p.440.) It 
is a native of North America, from New England to Carolina, in hedges 
and fields ; and also of Canada, about Lake Huron; where it forms a shrub, 
growing to the height of 8 ft. or 10ft. It was introduced in 1731, and 
produces its flowers in May and June. In British gardens, it is generally a 
large shrub, or, when trained toa single stem, a very handsome small tree, 
of considerable durability. Price of plants as in J’. Lentago ; and imported 
American seeds are Is. per packet.
