Cornus. Dogwood 



THE many desirable qualities of the Dogwoods make them among the most popular flowering trees. 

 The early Spring flowers are followed by attractive red berries. Although the foliage is always 

 good, it is in Fall of the year that it colors up to such brilliant shades of scarlet. There are several 

 Shrubs listed under this name. They are entirely different in their nature of growth and will be found 

 fully described in their alphabetical place under the Shrub Chapter. 



White Dogwood. Cornus Florida. (D). Of 

 inestimable value in landscaping. The white 

 petaled flowers cover the trees in early Spring. 

 These, you may have noticed, are notched in the 

 end. This is caused by the frost, the Winter buds 

 being unprotected. These little trees are indifferent 

 to most insect pests, will thrive in moist as well as 

 dry ground and are attractive almost everywhere.

Fagus. The Beeches 



THESE are among" the most attractive ornamental trees for lawn or park plantings. They are also 

 useful for high screens or as specimens. Hardy, and rarely subjected to inSect ravages. The deep, 

 dark red leaves of the purple varieties, the delicately cut foliage of the Fern-leaved and the grotesque- 

 ness of the Weeping Beech are characteristics meriting their more general use. The Beeches, particularly 

 our American variety, rival the Oaks for stately 

 appearance. One of the few trees which transplant 

 with better success in the Spring. 



American Beech. Fagus Ferruginea. (L). 

 Lofty, spreading tree with clean, close-fitting, 

 smooth, gray bark. Stems slender and of a reddish 

 brown color. Buds, long pointed with many over- 

 lapping scales. These worthy old proprietors of 

 the forest are frequently seen throughout the 

 Eastern States and often recognized by the small 

 brown nuts found on the ground.

European Beech. Fagus Sylvatica. (L). A 

 compact, long-lived tree. The foliage is dense and 

 darker green than the American Beech. The dead 

 leaves hang all Winter and make this one of the 

 very best trees for screens to shut off unsightly 

 objects. It is also appropriate for individual 

 planting.

Fern-leaved Beech, var. Heterophylla. (S). 

 Deep, (k'hcalely-cut foliage. Develops into a 

 splendid lawn specimen that presents an eff'ect 

 quite different frorn other trees. Of rather slow 

 growth, and while it takes several years before it 

 assumes the proportions of a shade tree, it is orna- 

 mental even when small.

Beech trees that have been allowed to retain their graceful, 

 spreading, lower branches, which give them a character that 

 other trees seldom have. The conspicuous leaves of the Purple 

 or Copper Beech make these trees attractive for lawn planting.
