AMELANCHIER (continued) 
canadensis, clean. 
grandiflora. Apple Shadblow, said to be a natural hybrid 
between canadensis and laevis. In habit much like 
laevis, but larger in all parts, buds often purplish pink, 
tinged pink when open (var. rubescens). With the 
large berries borne in clusters, plants have the appear¬ 
ance of a cherry tree laden with fruit. Due to its pro¬ 
fuseness of bloom and fruiting this may easily be 
classed, when better known, as the most valuable of 
our Eastern Shadblows.

laevis, Allegheny Shadblow, Northern strain, the hand¬ 
somest Amelanchier in flower with the young purplish 
foliage and drooping flower racemes expanding at 
same time. Slender shrub usually not attaining size 
of canadensis or grandiflora. 
New England seed. 
oblongifolia (botryapium or obovata), Thicket Shadblow. 
For landscape planting this Amelanchier has its 
special feature. Like no other of the group it makes 
a small, many branched shrub, while young, suitable 
for formal planting or as cover shrub in borders and a 
cover and food plant in wild-life reservations. The 
first Amelanchier to bloom and fruit (Juneberry) and 
attractive by the silvery color of its unfolding foliage. 
Seed is hard to collect and not available every season.. 
stolonifera hybrid, the botanical status of this does 
not seem to be properly established as yet. Plants 
are to breast high, in foliage, bloom and fruiting habit 
much like grandiflora and laevis. Berries are the 
largest of all our Eastern Amelanchier, remarkably 
tender skinned, good to eat and for preserves.

more adapted to small rockeries than horizontalis and

with large distinctive foliage. A fine ornamental,

varieties (in our opinion), growing less rampant and 
more prostrate than horizontalis.20
