C. florida. White-eloweeing Dogwood. An American species, of fine form, 

 growing from 16 to 25 feet high. The flowers produced in Spring, hefore the leaves 

 appear, are from 3 to 05 inches in diameter, white and very showy. They begin to ap- 

 pear just as the Magnolia flowers are fading, and are invaluable for maintaining a suc- 

 cession of bloom in the garden border or on the lawn. They also are very durable, lasting 

 in favorable weather more than two weeks. Besides being a tree of fine form, its foliage 

 is of a grayish green color, glossy and handsome, and in the autumn turns to a deep red 

 rendering the tree one of the most showy and beautiful objects at that season. We 

 regard it. all things considered, as one of the most valuable trees for ornamental plant- 

 ing, ranking next to the Magnolia among flowering trees, and only second to the 

 Scarlet Oak 1 which it almost equals) in brilliant foliage in autumn. See cut.
