Cork-Tree — See Phellodendron 



CORNUS ALBA var. SIBIRICA Coral Dogwood 



A medium-textured, deciduous shrub which is planted chiefly for the winter 

 effect of its coral-red young branches. The small, white flowers of May are 

 followed in autumn by whitish fruits. It is indifferent as to soil and will stand 

 some shade. 



CORNUS ALTERNIFOLIA PaGOD \ DOGWOOD 



A large deciduous shrub or small tree with spreading branches in stratified 

 arrangement. In autumn it has dark-blue fruits on red stems. A plant to fit 

 into the edges of woods. 



Cornus canadensis BuNCHBERRY 



A Dogwood of but a few inches in height, which spreads in cold, shaded, 

 acid, woodland soils by an underground rootstock. It has its leaves in whorls 

 and follows its greenish flowers by red berries. Of limited, specialized interest 

 because of exacting cultural requirements. 



CORNUS FLORIDA Flowering Dogwood 



A familiar, small, multiple-branched, deciduous tree of southern New 

 England. It is difficult to transplant as an older plant, and in the wild is best 

 moved to the same sort of soil and environmental conditions as those of its 

 original site. There are several varieties in cultivation, among the most useful 

 of which are var. RUBRA with red or pink flowers, and var. xanthocarpa 

 with yellow fruits. 



CORNUS KOUSA JAPANESE FLOWERING DOGWOOD 



A small, deciduous, Asiatic tree or large shrub which seems to have no 

 other positive garden value than the ability to prolong the blooming season 

 of the Flowering Dogwood. 



cornus mas Cornelian Cherry 



Small deciduous tree or large shrub, much planted in the past for its show 

 of yellow flowers before the leaves in early spring; useful, also, because of its 

 long-persistent green leaves and early autumn crop of edible scarlet fruits. 

 Like other Dogwoods, it can be made to appear at home in semi-wild plantings. 



cornus racemosa (C. paniculata) Gray Dogwood 



Large, spreading, deciduous shrub of regular outline, which will sucker 

 freely to cover considerable areas. June and July flowers are followed in 

 autumn by a mass of whitish fruits on red stems. Its ripe berries are quickly 

 removed by birds. A useful plant for roadside or large, wild, bank planting. 



cornus stolonifera Red-Ozier Dogwood 



A spreading, suckering, ten-foot shrub which, like C. alba, has blood-red 

 branchlets, white flowers in May, and white fruits. The winter effect of its 

 colored stems makes it suitable for planting large roadside banks. Var. 

 flaviramea, Golden-Twig Dogwood, has yellow stems. 



CORYLOPSIS PAUCIFLORA BUTTERCUP WlNTERHA7EL 



A spreading-b ranched, deciduous shrub with an ultimate height of perhaps 

 twelve feet. Valuable for its March or April yellow flowers which appear 

 before the unfolding of the interesting, rounded leaves. Not fully hardy or 

 sure of flowering except on Cape Cod and in southeastern sections of New 

 England.
