(Jig. 691. ifi p. 391.; and the plate in Arb. Brit., 1st edit., vol. vi.; and our fg. 643.) — Leaves oblong, with the upper part lanceolate ;. ;. C. Ua. the lower part tending to vredge-shaped. This forms a low fltit- headed tree, like the preceding variety. A plant in Messrs. Lod- diges's arboretum, in 1835, after being five years grafted at a foot from the ground, was not quite 5 ft. high. The miniature trees of this variety are admirably adapted for children's gardens.

Suppl. p. 386. — Branchlets tomentose in some degree, Leaves oval-lanceolate ; the under surface paler than the upper. A shrub, or, when trained to a single stem, a miniature tree. This species, being one of the first introduced into England, has been more cultivated than any other American thorn ; and on the whole it is one of the most splendid in appearance, from its smooth, shining, dark green foUage, and the great abundance of its fine white flowers, and dark red fruit which remains long on the tree. In the South of England, and in the climate of London, in warm sheltered situations, where the soil is rich and moist, it retains its leaves and fruit through great part of the winter, so as to appear quite evergreen. ¥ 7.
