. North American trees : being descriptions and illustrations of the trees growing independently of cultivation in North America, north of Mexico and the West Indies . Trees. Black Haw 855 roughish scales, are long and taper-pointed; those producing flowers are abruptly thickened at the base, 5 to 6 mm. in diameter, and 2 cm. long. The shining bright green leaves are quite smooth on both sides, 5 to 10 cm. long, ovate, elliptic, or nearly or- bicular, taper-pointed, toothed by sharp, thick teeth, gradually or ab- ruptly narrowed or rounded at the base, and slender stalked. The flowers are borne in sessile cymes 4 to 12 cm. across; the corolla is white, 5 to 6 mm. broad, deeply 5-lobed. The sweet edible fruit is oval, 10 to 12 mm. long, bluish black, and covered with a bloom; the stone is flat and broadly oval. The wood is hard, dense, orange-brown; its specific gravity is about The great hardiness, graceful habit, handsome bright green foUage, which passes through various shades of orange and red in the autumn, its numerous clusters of fragrant flowers opening in May and followed by the showy fruit sup- ported on bright red stems and changing through red to blue as the season ad- vances, make this one of the most desirable small trees for ornamental planting. 3.
