the lower part tending to wedge-shaped. This forms a low flat- 
headed tree, like the preceding variety. A plant in Messrs. Lod- 
diges’s arboretum, in 1835, after being five years grafted at a foot 
from the ground, was not quite 5 ft. high. The miniature trees of 
this variety are admirably adapted for children’s gardens.

— Branchlets tomentose in some degree. Leaves oval-lanceolate ; 
the under surface paler than the upper. A shrub, or, when trained 
to a single stem, a miniature tree. 
This species, being one of the first introduced into England, has been more 
cultivated than any other American thorn; and on the whole it is one of the 
most splendid in appearance, from its smooth, shining, dark green foliage, and 
the great abundance of its fine white flowers, and dark red fruit which remains 
long on the tree. In the South of England, and in the climate of London, in 
warm sheltered situations, where the soil is rich and moist, it retains its leaves 
and fruit through great part of the winter, so as to appear quite evergreen.
