. Ornamental shrubs for garden, lawn, and park planting, with an account of the origin, capabilities, and adaptations of the numerous species and varieties, native and foreign, and especially of the new and rare sorts, suited to cultivation in the United States.

In Europe the hawthorn is extensively used for hedges, not only for its beauty but be- cause it furnishes pro- tection alike against man and beast; but it has never been popular as a hedge plant in America. The species takes its popular name from the berries which in England are called haws. There are several vari- eties of much value, the best of which are as follows : C. o. rosea, pink-flower- ing, differs from the type chiefly in the color of its blossoms. In this case the petals are rose-colored, or pink, with the tips or claws bordered with white, and a well-grown tree in full bloom never fails to secure admi- ration. C. o. rosea superba has larger petals, which are dark red or crimson without the white tips, and is very fine. T-here are several double-flowering forms, one of which, C. o. fiore plena albo, has large white, double flowers in great abundance, shading to pink before they fall. C. o. coccinea duplicates the last by producing similar blossoms. FLOWERING BRANCH OF CRAT/tQUS OXYACANTHA, .
