TREES AND SHRUBS. 33 



punicea flore pleno 



(Paul's Double Scarlet} is certainly the best of all 

 red thorns, being literally a blaze of colour for a fort- 

 night in May. For soil, &c., v. C. Carieri. 



pyracantha 



(PyracantJia] is usually seen against a a wall, and 

 being an evergreen that will grow rapidly on a north or 

 east wall, and not only produce a quantity of white 

 flowers in May, but also bear a mass of orange scarlet 

 berries throughout the winter, it is one of the last things 

 one would wish to spare from the garden. It will do 

 remarkably well, too, in the open, becoming quite 9 ft. 

 high, but its crop of fruit will not be so large in that 

 position. Cuttings will root readily, and when grown 

 in pots they are admirable for house decoration. For 

 soil, &c., v. C. Carieri. 



tenacetifolia 



Is noticeable for the grey colour of its leaves ; it 

 grows to a height of 20 ft., and flowers in May, rather 

 later than most thorns. For soil, &c., v. C. Carieri.
