grayish green color, glossy and handsome, 
and in the autumn turns to a deepred, render- 
ing the tree one of the most showy and 
beautiful objects at that season. We regard 
it, all things considered, as one of the most 
valuable trees for ornamental planting, rank- 
ing next to the Magnolia among flowering 
trees, and only second to the Scarlet Oak

The Thorns justly deserve to be classed among 
the most beautiful flowering trees. They are generally 
dense, low growers, occupying comparatively little 
space and well adapted to beautify small grounds. If 
judiciously pruned, they can also be trained to assume 
picturesque tree forms. The foliage is varied and 
attractive, flowers very showy and often highly per- 
fumed. The fruit is very effective and ornamental 
in autumn. There are numerous varieties, all of which 
are hardy and will thrive in any dry soil. We have 
endeavored to select the best and most distinct. They 
flower in May and June. The varieties of American 
Thorns are particularly interesting in autumn on ac- CHIONANTHUS, (white Fringe) (Reduced).
