 Fruits. 



CYPRESS, Decidu- 

 ous. For descrip- 

 tion, see under cut. 

 Weeping. A variety 

 of the above, of tall, 

 narrow form. Al- 

 though the tips of 

 the branches hang 

 down, it is not, prop- 

 erly speaking, a 

 weeping tree, but 

 has the eflFect of the 

 Lombardy poplar. 



DOGWOOD. Most 

 people are familiar 

 with the picturesque 

 beauty of the Dog- 

 wood trees, which 

 light up the darkest 

 forest valleys and 

 fringe the woodland 

 borders with white. 

 It is a small tree, 

 about 20 feet high, 

 with wide-spread- 

 ing branches, hold- 

 ing the flowers in 

 horizontal masses. 

 The clusters of ber- 

 ries and foliage are 

 brilliant early in 

 autumn, soon after the sumach and Virginia 

 creeper turn, and before the oaks and maples 

 change. As a single lawn specimen, or to plant 

 in quantity with shrubs for screens, or with large 

 trees, it is unexcelled. Trees of any size fur- 

 nished. 



Red-flowering. A new variety, possessing all the 

 good qualities of the species, with bright red 

 flowers. 



Weeping. The central shoot grows upright, while 

 the side branches curve symmetrically downward. 



Japanese. A rare and beautiful tree, with large, 

 white, star-shaped flowers, in June ; very distinct 

 in appearance and time of flowering from the 

 common Dogwood. 



ELM. The Elms are of much use in landscape plant- 

 ing. The recently introduced pest, the striped 

 Elm-leaf beetle, troubles the American Elm but 

 little, and is rapidly disappearing. It has killed 

 many foreign Elms where they are not sprayed. 

 (See illustration, page 8.) 

 American. A tree of strong growth, lofty, sweeping 

 gothic form, of great elegance and grace. It forms 

 majestic specimens when given room.
