X alive Trees of Kentucky 93 



Service Berry Ainalanchier canadensis. 



The Service Berry is found on dry, hilly woodlands all over 

 the State, but reaches its best development in the mountains. 



The tree, known locally as June Berry, Shad or "Savice." is 

 a most desirable park or lawn tree. 



The wood, hard, strong- and close-grained, is occasionally used 

 for tool handles and small parts of machinery. 



Early in spring-, perfect white flowers in loose drooping 

 clusters appear with the leaves. 



Tree small, with slender spreading branches. 



Bark purplish brown with shallow fissures. 



Leaves alternate, simple, thick, oval, toothed, sharp-pointed. 



Pruit sweet, red, juicy berries, covered with bloom when ripe. 



C. HAWS GENUS CRATAEGUS. 



The Haws of Kentucky are of little commercial value in the 

 lumber market. 



They are usually spiny, much branched, small shrubby trees 

 with beautiful flowers and highly decorative fruit. In ornamental 

 hedges and borders, they deserve a prominent place. 



Due to their habit of hybridizing, much accurate investigation 

 will be necessary before a satisfactory report can be made of the 

 different species and their distribution in Kentucky.
