Cratxgus oxycantha^ or Eurofiean White Thorn. 

 This is the common species used throughout England for 

 hedges, and which has been considerably planted in this 

 country tor the same purpose. It answers very well trained 

 as an ornamental tree among shrubbery, but is far less suit- 

 able for hedges than many of our native species. In fact, 

 the native species generally used grow with twice the rapi- 

 dity of the European, and are also not subject to the attack 

 of the insects which frequently prey upon the White Thorn, 

 and seem to have been introduced with it from Europe.
