Crataegus. Hawthorn 



THE Hawthorns are particularh- bright and attracti\'e when the Autumn foliage changes to bril- 

 liant colors. They flower abundantly in May and June, and are fragrant and showy. Some 

 varieties have very ornamental fruits which make pleasing Fall and Winter decorations. Most 

 kinds are capable of being sheared and may be trained into thick, dense hedges, which their thorns make 

 almost impenetrable. 



Crataegus oxycantha. English Hawthorn. 

 (M). Well-known in all English gardens and popu- 

 lar here. Bears clusters of single white, fragrant 

 flowers in May and later scarlet fruit. Likewise 

 the foliage is quite attractive. When planted 

 individually or in groups it develops into a hand- 

 some specimen that assumes the proportions of a 

 small tree. As it withstands shearing well it can 

 also be planted closeh' together for hedging. As a 

 hedge plant in England this hawthorn is very popu- 

 lar. There seems to be no reason why this famous 

 English Hawthorn cannot be used more extensively 

 here. See illustration below.

 charm and beauty commend it for more general planting.

G. maxima var. purpurea. Purple Hazelnut. 

 (L). We have no hesitancy in recommending this 

 grand shrub as the best purple-leaved one in culti- 

 vation. It is comparatively immune from the 

 attacks of insects, and throughout most of the 

 season its rich purple foliage retains its color.
