DOGWOOD. Si 
The wood of the Cornus florida is hard, heavy 
and fine grained, and susceptible of a good pol- 
ish. It is employed for various purposes where 
strength and solidity are required, although its 
small size does not permit. it to be used for ob- 
jects of much magnitude, From its hardness it 
is found peculiarly useful for handles of instru-— 
ments, the teeth of wheels, and the smaller parts 
of wooden machinery.
