Cornus  florida,  var.  rubra.  Red -Flowering 
Dogwood.  (D)  This  tree  possesses  the  many 
good  qualities  of  its  parent,  Cornus  florida,  and

case  are  a  beautiful  shade  of  pink.  One  of  the 
best  of  recent  novelties.  It  looks  nicely  when 
planted  in  clusters  with  the  white-flowering  sort 
or  against  a  background  of  evergreens,  as  shown 
by  the  illustration.  Does  equally  well  in  open  or

Crataegus  •  Thorn 
The  Thorns  are  all  strong,  hardy  growers  in  almost  any  soil  or  climate.  They  make  dense,  bushy 
5hrubs  or  little  trees,  and  are  particularly  bright  and  attractive  when  the  autumn  foliage  changes  to 
)rilliant  colors.  They  flower  abundantly  in  May  and  June,  and  are  fragrant  and  showy.  They  occupy 
)ut  little  space  and  can  be  used  in  small  areas.  Some  varieties  have  very  ornamental  fruits,  which  make 
)leasing  fall  and  winter  decorations.  Most  kinds  are  capable  of  being  sheared  and  may  be  trained  into 
;hick,  dense  hedges,  which  their  thorns  make  almost  impenetrable.
