Crataegus. Hawthorn 



THE Hawthorns are particularly bright and attractive when the Autumn foliage changes to brilliant 

 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 closely 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.

Hardy dwarf-growing shrubs of great ornamental 

 value. Early in the Spring before the leaves appear 

 the branches are covered with numerous little 

 flowers. These plants are different from most other 

 shrubs; are quite rare and worthy of being more 

 generally planted.

The individual flowers of Hawthorn are so minute that 

 our picture merely shows the clusters of bloom and 

 gives no suggestion of their delightful fragrance that 

 attracts one from afar. Fortunately for us, the Haw- 

 thorn is so well known our illustration need serve only 

 as a reminder of its desirable qualities. While all va- 

 rieties are very ornamental, the double flowering ones 

 are preferable for individual planting. For sizes and 

 prices of our stock see opposite column.
