CORNUS florida. White Dogwood. The foliage masses and shadows of the Dogwood 

 are always pleasing; the branches are arranged in horizontal layers and take on in 

 early life the mature beauty of the old Oak. We must learn to do our landscape 

 planting on small areas with small material. Dogwoods are especially showy against 

 the dark background of evergreens and the deep shadows of the forest. They should 

 be used in large masses both to raise up shrubbery and feather down tall trees. Illus- 

 trations on pages 5 and 21 show how beautifully the white and red Dogwood can be 

 combined^ Dogwoods may be planted 10 ft. apart and thinned out as they crowd. 



Americans have waked up to the beauty of their native flora. Twenty years ago 

 they did not use the Dogwood and the Kalmia. Now they do. 



A. J. Downing, a foremost landscape gardener of his time, wrote in "Rural Es- 

 says/' 1851, quoting an European horticulturist: "And so, in a country of Azaleas, 

 Kalmias, Rhododendrons, Cypripediums, Magnolias and Nysas — the loveliest flow- 

 ers, shrubs and trees of temperate climates — you never put them in your gardens, but 

 send over the water every year for thousands of dollars worth of English Larches and 

 Ifertitk Voila le gout Republican!"

... You have occasionally seen Dogwoods of 



a slight pink color; some one found a deeper pink or red. Here is an unusual oppor- 

 tunity to use them in quantity. Many suburban residences are in the woods as at 

 Forest Hills and Oyster Bay. Many look out upon woodland borders and hedge 

 rows; many drives and paths go through the woods. To quote F. J. Scott, author of 

 "Suburban Home Grounds:" "This woodland is usually second growth which 

 has little beauty as an environment of a dwelling because they have grown thickly 

 together and form a collection of rough poles." Such woodland may be thinned out 

 and harmoniously underplanted with Dogwood, Laurel, Viburnum and several other 

 beautiful native plants and a few foreign plants like the Japanese Dogwood.
