Japanese 

 Dogwood 



THE only reason why this little 

 tree is not planted more freejy 

 is that people are not familiar 

 with it. 



From the latter part of May to almost 



the middle of June the Japanese Dogwood is 



covered with beautiful star-shaped snowy white 



flowers. At blooming-time it is in full leaf, giving the 



flowers a background which makes them visible a half-a-mile V / 



away. , < 



One of the Most Interesting 

 Flowering Shrubs of its Season 



The Japanese Dogwood blooms a month later than the American 

 species, thus giving a succession of bloom. All summer long it 

 is beautiful, and in autumn the tree is covered with many straw- 

 berry-like edible fruits, which are not only interesting and 

 decorative, but are eagerly sought for by the birds that remain 

 over winter. 



Prices of 

 Japanese Dogwood 



EACH IO r lOO 



3 feet high #1.25 $10.00 #60. 



4 feet high 2.00 ^ 17.50 125. 



Everyone who loves rare and dis- 

 tinctive trees and shrubs will add 

 this Dogwood to their plantings. 

 Ten, or twenty-five, or fifty, of the 

 Japanese Dogwoods in a group by 

 themselves, or planted among 

 cedars and pines or other ever- 

 greens, will make one of the most charming nooks you can imagine. 



"Home Landscapes" is the advice and experience of trained 

 landscape men and tree growers condensed to practical form. 

 Definite plans and suggestions are given for arranging trees, 

 shrubs and plants. A copy of this valuable book will be mailed 

 on request.
