VERGREEN Thorn. There is nothing in the least 
modestly retiring in the character of this Ever- 
\ ^ green Shrub. It has a surprisingly vigorous indi¬ 
viduality. With its surprises it charms us. 
No one can predict the exact form its growth will take. 
It will thrust its sturdy shoots up the face of a wall or 
trail them delicately over a bank. It will fill an empty 
corner with a tumbling mass of green or stand erect to 
bar the way to trespassers. In the Fall it springs its greatest 
surprise. \ There suddenly comes a day when the bush 
bursts into flame, the ardent, orange flame of its massed 
red fruit.
