el;eagnus parvifolia. (Silver Thorn.) Our illustration from nature shows a branch of this Eljeag- nus with and without the foliage, the latter e.xposing the mottled red berries. Besides the ornamental fruit, the silvery green foli- age and stems are at- tractive ; and the fruit is good to eat. It also makes a very good hedge plant. In May, sweet-scented, yellow flowers are borne in great profusion. Fruit ripens in May. (See prices, next page.) Blxagnus parvifolia. (Silver Thorn.) Try Cratsegns Cras-galU for an impenetrable hedging.
