CORNEL-CHERRY. 
55 
White Cornel. (Cornus stolonifera, C. alba, Pursh.) 
This species grows on the borders of streams in the Rocky 
Mountain range, and also on the banks of the Oregon, and 
in the Blue Mountains of that territory. 
The Cornel-cherry ( Cornus mascula), is a native of the 
south of Europe, but thrives well in this climate. It blos- 
soms early, and bears a handsome crimson fruit, about the 
size and appearance of a cherry, which was formerly used 
for tarts and made into a roll. The wood is very hard, 
and made into wedges, will endure almost like iron. It has 
long been cultivated in the Bartram Garden, in this vicinity, 
where fine plants may be seen in the autumn full of fruit.
