   A 
  hawthorn, 
  much 
  resembling 
  the 
  preceding 
  number, 
  but 
  of 
  more*robust 
  habit,

   hawthorn 
  growing 
  into 
  a 
  tall 
  shrub 
  or 
  small 
  tree, 
  having 
  black,

  A 
  very 
  

  

  strong-growing

  rose, 
  bearing 
  many 
  large 
  fruits; 
  found 
  in 
  rather 
  dry, 
  rocky

   ing

  Perhaps 
  of 
  value

  a 
  fodder

  A 
  moun- 
  

   tain 
  ash 
  with

  The 
  fruits 
  are 
  sold 
  in 
  fruit 
  shops 
  in 
  Yalta 
  

   as 
  a 
  delicacy, 
  they 
  are 
  eaten 
  when 
  somewhat 
  decomposed, 
  like 
  medlars, 
  and 
  

   taste 
  very 
  good. 
  Of 
  value 
  as 
  a 
  fruit 
  tree 
  in 
  mild-wintered 
  regions, 
  where 
  the 
  

   summers 
  are 
  warm 
  and 
  dry.
