This shrub bears the name cf spindle because that article is 
most commonly made of its wood ; it is also used in the prep¬ 
aration of crayons. The sculptor and the turner value it high¬ 
ly. If the wood be useful to the arts, the shrub has claims to 
the esteem of the cultivator. The hedges which they orna¬ 
ment with rosy fruit have a very pretty effect in the autumn.
