CRATAEGUS . The Hawthorns 
This species is remarkable not only for the bright haws or fruits which give it its 
common name, but for its lively foliage and vigorous form. Many of the group make 
excellent hedges—not only amenable to shearing into tight green walls, but impenetrable, 
because of the thorns.

This tree has all the loveliness with which our imaginations clothe rare things. While 
the foliage is fairly large, and the white flowers decidedly so, the general effect of the 
tree is one of frail beauty. It bears the name of its missionary discoverer, Armand David, 
who found it in western China in the eighteen sixties.

DIOSPYROS . The Persimmon Tree 
The Persimmon is much more than a source of a toothsome, edible fruit. It is fine, 
glossy-foliaged, with a great deal of grace in its habit of growth.
