CRAT^GUS ELLWANGERIANA 



CERCmiPHYLLUM 



C. Japonicum. A rare tree from Japan. Foliage 

 small, heart-shaped; tree upright and compact. 

 3 to 4 ft., SI. 00. 



CRAT^GUS. Thorn 



The Thorns justly deserve to be classed amons the most 

 Deautiful 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 ven- showy and 

 often highly perfumed. The fruit is verj- effective and orna- 

 mental in autumn. There are numerous varieties, all of 

 which are hardy and will thrive in any drj-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.

 ity. It has a good habit and large, fine foliage.
