CORNUS California. (Dogwood.) (S.) Shrub 
with purplish branches, leaves two to four 
inches long, lighter colored beneath with loose 
silky hairs; flowers white. 
C. capitata (B«nthamia fragifera.) (Evergreen 
Dogwood.) Himalayas. (S.) A splendid 
shrub of rather large size. Flowers are large, 
like those of the Eastern "Flowering Dogwood"

far more successful ulider cultivation in Cali- 
fornia than either, with the further advantage 
of being entirely evergreen. Flowers are cream 
colored, becoming ruddy before falling, followed 
by large, red, showy fruits, which are edible 
but insipid. ^^^^
