 small, heart-shaped; tree upright and compact.

CRAT^GUS. Thorn 



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 perfumed. The fruit is very effective and orna- 

 mental in autumn. There are numerous varieties, all of 

 which are hardy and will thrive in any dry soil. "We have en- 

 deavored to select the best and most distinct. They flower 

 in May and June. The varieties of American Thorns are par- 

 ticularly interesting in autumn on account of their showy 

 fruit.
