CORNUS. 



Cornus florida, (White-flowering 

 Cornel or Dogwood).— Mr. F. J. Scott In his 

 Suburban Home Grounds thus speaks of it : 



"It is remarkable for the size and shosvlness 

 of its white blossoms, which make their ap- 

 pearance in April, before the leaves, and cover 

 the tree like immense snowtlakes. They are 

 two to three inches in diameter. Those who 

 have been familiar with it only in the woods 

 can form but a poor Idea of its beauty when 

 grown in rich soil and open exposure. In 

 such places it i» not only superb in its April 

 crown of white blossoms and its mass of sum- 

 mer leaves but in autumn its foliage turning 

 to a deep red, makes the tree a brilliant com- 

 panion to the varied-hued Maples, the golden 

 Sassafras, the scarlet Oak and the glowing 

 bronze of the Llquldamber. The fruit is scar- 

 let." Adding that' trees should be obtained 

 from a nursery as those taken from the woods 

 rarely grow well or become well formed trees.
