The Cockspur Thorn (Crataegus crus- galli, Linnaeus) may be recognized by its long, usually un- branched, chestnut brown thorns, its inversely ovate leaves, alid its small nearly spherical buds. The white flowers are grouped in round-topped clusters, and the bright apple-like scarlet fruit persists far into winter. This small tree is com- mon throughout Ohio. The Scarlet Hawthorn (Crataegus coccinea, Linnaeus) can be recognized by its ovate leaves, and its round, reddish- brown fruit. Both the leaves and the fruit show a tendency to be hairy. The leaves are 5 to 9-Iobed, often deep-deft and finely toothed along the margin. The nearly round chestnut brown buds and the slender, straight thorns are also helpful in recognizing this small tree which is found in meadow pastures, abandoned fields, and waste places generally throughout Ohio. Its abundant bloom, rich scarlet fruit and attractive autumnal foliage recommend it highly for ornamental Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Illick, Joseph S.
