DECIDUOUS FLOWERING SHRUBS 15 
free-growing species, attaining a height of about twelve 
feet, and producing during February and March umbels 
of yellow flowers, which are succeeded by red, purple, 
or yellow fruits according to the variety. Broad-leaved 
Dogwood (C. macrophylla) a Japanese species, growing 
from three to five feet high, bearing clusters of white 
flowers in June. Common Dogwood (C. sanguinea) a 
free-growing species, attaining a height of six or seven 
feet, and bearing in June and July terminal cymens of 
white flowers. The bark is bright red, and very effec- 
tive in winter. 
CoryLopsis.—A small group of shrubs of medium 
growth, valuable for the early period of the year in 
which they bloom. They are similar in growth and 
leafage to the Hazel and Filbert nuts, and produce their 
yellow flowers in short pendent racemes in advance of 
the leaves. They are all quite hardy, and may be suc- 
cessfully grown in good garden soil. They should be 
planted in the first or second row in the shrubbery 
border and be given sufficient room for the development 
of their branches, as when crowded, they fail to bloom 
freely or be in any way satisfactory. Propagation is 
readily effected by layering the well ripened shoots in 
the autumn. 
Each of the species in cultivation is well worthy of a 
place in the shrubbery border. Corylopsis himalayana is 
as indicated by its specific name a native of the Hima- 
layas; it attains a height of about six feet, has large 
light green leaves and pale yellow flowers borne in 
racemes at the ends of the branches. C. pauciflora, a 
Japanese species, two or three feet high, blooming in 
March and April, the flowers primrose yellow, and pro- 
duced in short racemes. C. spicata also is of Japanese 
origin, and attains a height of about three feet; the 
flowers are pale yellow, pleasantly scented, and produced 
in February.
