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 per- fumed. The fruit is very effective and ornamental in autumn. There are numerous varieties, all of which are hardy and will thrive in any dry soil. We have endeavored to select the best and most distinct. They flower in May and June. The varieties of American Thorns are particularly interesting in autumn on ac- count of their showy fruit. C. Azarolus. C. From Southern France. A tree with a round, spreading head ; foliage large and hand- some, fruit scarlet, very ornamental. # var. Carriereii. C. Foliage of a dark, glossy green ; fruit large, dark red, showy and hangs to the tree long into the winter. A fine variety. C. coccinea. Scarlet-fruited Thorn. B. A fine native variety.
