four flowering Dogwoods, 
NO rare exotic has greater beauty of growth, bloom or Autumn coloring than 
our native white flowering Dogwood. In the last of May its showy bloom 
lends its own peculiar charm to our woodland borders and an occasional 
isolated tree or group of them will stand out boldly and command our admiration. 
While this dogwood will thrive under the greatest variety of exposures and soil 
conditions it is most happy in association with other trees, which is fortunate, 
as there are many times, in the evolution of a landscape scheme, where the 
use of tree-like plants, which are naturally suited for planting in the partially 
shaded foreground of larger trees, is important. 
White Flowering Dogwood. This is the native form as we see it in the woodlands and 
occasionally m plantings and is certainly very attractive. We anticipate a much more 
general use of it m the future, many now usmg it freely along drives and woodland 
borders as well as for specimens, as several orders for them by the hundreds within 
the past two seasons indicates. We have succeeded in getting up a fine lot of this 
valuable tree to offer for this season.

Red Flowering Dogwood. This is a very marked variety of the native white dogwood. In 
habit it is very similar to the type but produces in the greatest quantities, blooms whose 
showy involucres are deep rosy red, making a splendid display, either by themselves 
or it planted so as to contrast with the other forms, the effect is often very beautiful. 
Pink Flowering Dogwood. This is an intermediate form as to color the habit being very 
like the preceding. The color is a clear soft pink when in bloom and where the three 
are planted so that their contrasting colors can be enjoyed, the effect is splendid. This 
form originated here at the Nursery and we are not aware that it can be procured any 
where else.

Weeping White Flowering Dogwood. Another and a most interesting form of this desirable 
tree. While the central stem inclines to grow upright, the branches all hang down, form- 
ing ol the whole plant a very unique effect. It is most effective where it stands alone. 
Prices, 3-4 ft. specimens, $1.75 each.
