Flowers of our native White- 

 flowering Dogwood 



Cornus. Dogwood 



The many desirable quali- 

 ties of the Dogwoods make 

 them among the most popular 

 flowering trees. The early 

 Spring flowers are followed by 

 attractive red berries. Al- 

 though 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 in the Shrub Chapter. 



White Dogwood. Corxus Florida. (D). The 

 white petaled flowers cover the trees in early Spring. 

 They are indifferent to most insect pests and will 

 thrive in moist as well as dry ground.
