C. alternifolia (Blue Dog- 
wood). "The most dis- 
tinct and picturesque of 
this whole family. The 
foliage is very good, and 
the branches, which are 
smooth and glabrous 
throughout, are disposed 
in whorls with wide 
spaces between these an- 
nual circles, and assume 
a horizontal habit as the 
tree grows older, which 
makes the svhole plant 
a series of parallel layers 
of foliage. A very beau- 
tiful shrub, and highly 
useful to landscape gar- 
deners." — F. L. lemple.

mental tree, growing here in our mountains 40 to 50 feet high, and 1 to 2 feet

white or pink bell-shaped flowers very early in spring, which are followed by 
curious four-winged fruit. 1 to 2 feet 25
