The Matrimony Vines or Box Thokns are spiny plants often found in cultivation because of the beautiful red or orange berries. They are, as the name indicates, vines rather than shrubs and sometimes are useful as arbor coverings. The flowering season is a long one. May to September. The leaves are mostly small, thick, nearly evergreen, alternately clustered on the drooping spiny branches. The many-seeded berries are red or reddish, hanging on through the fall. The European species. Common Mathimony Vine (488) — Lycium halimifblium, — is most frequent in cultivation though not so fine as the Chinese Matri- mony Vine (480) — Lycium chin^nse. Both of these are hardy North; the European has orange to yellow berries about a half inch long, while the Chinese has brighter and more distinctly red oblong berries nearly an inch long. Besides these two hardy species, there are a dozen or more species which may be in cultivation in the South ; and they are wild in Europe,.
