An interesting item in connection with this shrub or tree is the Tact that it is the source of the name of Apple Creek. In the Dakota language the name of the hawthorn is “taspan.” Because they found soy many thickets of taspan growing - along the course of this stream the Dakotas called it Taspan Wakpala, that is, Taspan Creek or Hawthorn Creek or Thornapple Creek. And their name for, Bismarek is Tas- pan Wakpala Tonwan, that is to say, Thornapple Creek Town. Some white man with an imperfect- knowledge of | the Dakota langtjage mistranslated Taspan Wakpala as “Apple” Ci instead of, Thornapple Creek which it should be. The choke cherry is beautiful in foliage both in summer and autumn coloring, the blossoms are fragrant, meaning summer, and minan meaning |do not frustrate nature. berry.

From that has :come the Mountaint Pembina county, and the : town. of Pembina. i Another species of the same genus | :as the pembina berry is the nanny-/| berry of sheep-berry, which abounds! in ravines and along streams through- ont the state. Its habit is to grow in ‘clumps. It is desirable for foliage, flowers, and fruit.. The leaves are glossy and bright green in summer and: take glorious tints of reds and/ yellows in autumn. The fruit hangs on very late into the winter and _ is blue-black in color, and suffuséd with ifrosty bloom. ie Vines native to this region and all suitable for planting, are clematts, | joonseed, bittersweet, ‘wild. erape, | Virginia creeper, wild cucumber tnd | hop vine. ‘ The habit of the clematis, or igin’s bo’ s to grow climbing over | shrubs in thickets along streams, but! and the fruit is desirable for human |i use-and for birds. The ¢ilver berry is abundant every- where in the nofthern part of the state, and as. far south as Bismarck it is found in cool situations on the north slope hills. The grey foliage and silver berries are attractive, and the flowers are very fragrant. The buffalo berry is effective for its gray ‘foliage and its abundant red berries. It is so prolific that the red masses of berries become almost more conspicuous than the gray fo! age. There'is also a. variety which ars golden colored berries. The fruit sides its value for jelly making. This shrub is good for hedges.
