given in the list
| | |referred to, the most usual
| | |being A. Botryapium. No
| | |small garden should be
| | |without this lovely small
| | |tree; it is between 6 and
| | |8 feet high, spreading,
| | |and has purplish fruits,
| | |whilst the leaves die off
| | |deep golden yellow, so that
| | |the Snowy Mespilus has many
| | |beautiful phases. There are
| | |several varieties, but the
| | |species is as beautiful as
| | |any.
| | |
A. oligocarpa |Northern United |White; |This is quite a dwarf
|States, |April and |shrub, 3 feet to 4 feet,
|and found in |May |and the individual flowers
|bogs and swamps | |are 3/4 inch across. As it
| | |is found in moist places it
| | |should be tried in such
| | |positions in Britain.
| | |
A. vulgaris |Europe |White; |This has been in English
| |April |gardens about 300 years.
| | |It is like the Canadian
| | |Juneberry or Snowy
| | |Mespilus, but not so
| | |beautiful. If only one
| | |Amelanchier is required,
| | |choose A. canadensis.
