Bloflbm, they are very pleafing, the 

 Flowers being very large, and are 

 produced in great Bunches at the 

 . Extremity of their Branches ; and in 

 Autumn, when the Fruit is ripe, 

 I which is very large, and grows in 

 t great Gutters, they have a beautiful 

 L Appearance, and are efteemed very 

 good Feed for Deer. 



The ninth, tenth, and eleventh 

 I Sorts were brought from Virginia 

 I feveral Years fince, and are preferv- 

 I ed as Curioiities by fuch Perfons as 

 I are Lovers of Trees. Thefe may 

 I be propagated from Seeds, as the 

 I other Sorts, or by budding or graft - 

 I jng them upon the common Haw- 

 I thorn ; and may afterwards be 

 I tranfplanted into Wildernefs - quar- 

 I ters, amongfl: other Trees of the 



■ fame Growth, where they will afford 

 I an agreeable Variety. 



The ninth Sort will grow larger 



■ than the other two, and, if railed 

 | from Seeds, will equal the Cockfpur 

 I Hawthorn ; and the Flowers and 

 A Fruit are full as large as thofe; fo 

 1 that it is very proper to be intermix- 

 led therewith. 



The tenth and eleventh Sorts 



■ commonly grow to the Size of our 



■ common Hawthorn, with which 

 I they may be intermixed, for Varie- 

 Jty, in Wildernefs-plantations. 



The tenth Sort is, by fome of the 

 I Gardeners, called the Maple-leav'd 

 I Haw, from the Leaves of this Tree 

 I having fome Refemblance to thofe of 

 l:he common or letter Maple. This 



■ Sort flowers later in the Seafon, than 

 liny of the other; feldom being in 

 Beauty earlier than the Beginning of 

 I^W*, and fometimcs not until the 

 I Middle of that Month : but the 

 ■Bunches of Flowers being larger 

 I han any of the Sorts yet known, 



■ •enders this the molt valuable, from 

 he great Appearance which it 



1 «akes in Flower ; and alfo in the 



Autumn, when the Fruit is ripe; 

 thefe Trees are equally beautiful ; 

 their Fruit being of a lively red Co- 

 lour, and hanging in large Bunches 

 on every Part of the Tree. 



The Fruit of the eleventh Sort is 

 black when ripe ; but thefe are pro- 

 duced thinly on the Trees, feldom 

 more than two or three growing irt 

 each duller : the Leaves are fhaped 

 fomewhat like thofe of the Plum ; 

 but are longer and narrower : this 

 is preferved more for the fake of 

 Variety than its Beauty. 



The twelfth and fourteenth Sorts 

 have been of late Years introduced in- 

 to the Englijb Gardens from America^ 

 and are propagated in theNurferies 

 near London. The twelfth Sort has 

 the longeft and ftrongeft Thorns of 

 any of the Sorts : the Leaves are like 

 thofe of the Plum-tree : the Fruit is 

 as large as thofe of the Cockfpur- 

 haw ; but they are produced but 

 thinly, feldom more than two or 

 three growing together : and by the 

 Growth of this Tree (when upon its 

 own Stock) in England, it feems 

 more inclinable to a Shrub than a 

 Tree. 



The fourteenth Sort is a larger- 

 growing Tree, being equal to the 

 Cockfpur-haw : this hath no Spine.% 

 and the Leaves are extended in 

 Breadth more than Length : the/ 

 are of a whiiifh Colour on their 

 Under -fide : the Fruit is as large as 

 thofe of the Cockfpur-haw, but of 

 an oval Shape, and a yellowim- 

 green Colour: but thefe come fin- 

 giy, or byPairs, rarely three of them 

 growing together ; fo that the Trees 

 make no great Appearance either 

 in Flower or Fruit. 



The thirteenth was many Years 

 fince growing in the Bifhop of ton- 

 dons Garden at Fulbam ; but hath 

 lately been recovered again from 

 America, after having been loft for 



many
