CRATAEGUS. Thorn 
The Thorns justly deserve to be classed among the most 
beautiful flowering trees. They are generally dense, low 
growers, occupying comparatively little space and well 
adapted to beautify small grounds. If judiciously pruned, 
they can also be trained to assume picturesque tree forms. 
The foliage is varied and attractive, flowers very showy and 
often highly perfumed. The fruit is very effective and orna¬ 
mental in autumn. There are numerous varieties, all of 
which are hardy and will thrive in any dry soil. We have en¬ 
deavored to select the best and most distinct. They flower 
in May and June. The varieties of American Thorns are par¬ 
ticularly interesting in autumn on account of their showy 
fruit.
