AIIBORETUM AND FRUTICETUM. 



PART 111 



Spec. Char., Sfc. Leaves broad-ovate, acuminated, 

 sharply serrated, glabrous. Petioles with narrow 

 curled margins. Corymbs terminal, sessile. Flowers 

 white. Fruit black. Serratures of leaves hooked 

 a little, and somewhat cartihiginous. {Don's j\IUl., 

 iii. p. 440.) A native of North America, from New 

 England to Carolina, among hedges and on the 

 borders of woods; and found throughout Canatla 

 to the Saskatchawan ; forming a shrub from G ft. to 

 10 ft. high. It was introduced in 17G 1, 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 seeils ; and the two following sorts aj)pear 

 to us to be nothing more than varieties of it. Price of plants, in the Lon- 

 don nurseries, \s. (id. each; at BoUwyller, I franc; and at New York, 25 

 cents.

 glabrous. Cymes sessile. Berries ovate or roundish. Flowers white, as

 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 10 ft. 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 to a single stem, a very handsome small tree, 

 of considerable durability. Price of plants as in /'. Lentago ; and imported 

 American seeds are 1.9.-per packet.
