Cornus: The Dogrvvood 



DOGWOODS are strong growers in almost any soil, and are hardy from the warmer parts of Canada 

 southward. They thrive nearly as well in shaded places as in the open ground. While the bush 

 forms are not remarkable for their flowers, they are especially valued for the brilliant coloring of 

 the bark, which is very attractive in the leafless months of Winter. Many varieties are indigenous through- 

 out the United States and are particularly suited for mass planting or natural effects. Good for decorating 

 along streams or for moist soils.
