T INNAEUS informs us this tree grows in England, Germany, Helvetia, 
and Burgundy. It is found wild in hedges and woods, and merits a 
place in plantations for the beauty of its foliage, as well as its flower and fruit. 
At Bifhop’s Wood, near Hampfead, there may be feen feveral trees of this 
fpecies. It is faid the Common Service will rife to the height of thirty or 
forty feet.

moil others propagated in this Country, and flourifhes beft in a ftrong foil.
