The Dogwood 
What boy has not climbed the Dog¬ 
wood tree for its handsome blossoms? 
But what the children call one blossom 
is really a large number together. 
Pick the head apart. Examine it 
closely. You will find you have in your 
hand many tiny blossoms. 
What you thought were the petals are 
only bracts. Bracts are modified leaves 
which often surround the* flower. 
No. 10.
