grow at from six to seven thousand feet altitude. After entering 

 a region where the yellow pine and the sugar pine grew to great 

 size and height, we saw some large white blossoms of Cornus 

 Nuttalli. Near them was the mariposa lily, and beyond were the 

 giant redwoods. 



The dwarf cornel, the bunch berry, pictures galore! One 

 cannot think of the north woods without it. It grows by the 

 trail, it grows by the rocks, it grows in the woods, it grows 

 singly, it grows in groups — sunshine or shade matters not. It is 

 quite as willing to be shy and delicate as sturdy and strong. 

 So symmetrical in form and arrangement are the bracts and 

 leaves that all have an equal share of sun and air. 



On the carriage road up Mt. Washington masses of the 

 dwarf cornel with its bright red berries, and here and there a 

 belated white blossom, grow with the violets, the trailing 

 chiogenes and the wild strawberry by the roadside. On July 20 

 on Mt. Moat, New Hampshire, we saw specimens of C. cana- 

 densis with as many as sixteen berries — a real bunch. 



The dwarf dogwood resembles the tree dogwood in its 

 ability to associate harmoniously with a wide range of plants 

 east and west, but its range does not extend so far south. We 

 like best to think of it in company with the pink Linnaea as we 

 saw them growing in the Selkirk Mountains in British Columbia.
