Crataegus - Hawthorne -"Strength," alluding to the wood. Hawthorns, almost without number, are found wild in America. Some of the most eminent botanists have made a study of them and are still bewildered. Only a few of the most outstanding ones are mentioned. Rehder says there are 800 known species in North America and 90 in the Old World. In the Arnold Arboretum 600 kinds are growing. "Haws" are usually spiny branched, alternate leaves, various in shape. The flowers are white, produced in corymbs, rarely solitary; sometimes delightfully fra grant, but more often of strong odor, reminding one of the fishing smacks of Massa chusetts. Fruits of some species are edible, and are like small apples. The Washington Hawthorn, Crataegus cordata (phaeno pyrum), is native from Vir ginia to Alabama and Mis souri, and grows to 30 feet tall. The foliage is dense and forms a round head. The slen der spines are 3 inches long. The large corymbs do not form till late in the season. The broad triangular leaves are 1 to 3 inches long and pointed, blunt, or even slight ly notched at the tip. They are 3 to 5 lobed and sharply toothed. During the summer they are lustrous, turning scarlet or orange in the fall. Hope for End of Actor Strike Held Hollywood-(UPD-High hopes for a quick end to the actors' strike prevailed today when it was indicated the Screen Ac tors Guild might allow major studios to resume production on eight films halted by the strike. While representatives of the 14,000-member SAG and the seven struck studios return to the bargaining table in the afternoon, a guild spokesman said it was "not impossible" the Guild would sanction com pletion of the partially finish ed pictures. SAG President Ronald Rea gan will give the okay to actors to return to the work on the pictures as soon as SAG is convinced the studios are negotiating in "good faith," the spokesman said. A VIOLATOR New York - iUPD - Boat own ers in the New Jersey-Connecticut areas who wish to comply with U.S. Coast Guard regulations regard ing the numbering of motor boats must accompany their appli cations with a $3 federal boat ing stamp. But they'd better not use the picture on the stamp as a guide. The stamp shows a handsome cabin cruiser speeding along with neither the- required numbers nor running lights. The shining scarlet fruits are depressed and globose. Branches are very brittle, breaking easily in the wind. The Washington Hawthorn is one of the best fruiting sorts, with a profusion which hang on for a long time.
