70 Hardy Ornamental Shrubs 
The STORRS & HARRISON CO 
CORNUS [Dogwood] 
The shrubby Dogwoods are mainly valuable for the brilliancy 
of their bark and berries, and variegated foliage. All varieties 
do well in shade. Much used for an expanse of green foliage, 
the fall fruits calling’ a welcome assemblage of birds ; and the 
tangled mass of highly colored twigs enlivening the prevailing 
somberness of shrubbery in winter.

purplish red branches and beautiful silver variegated foli¬ 
age. This is one of the choicest variegated-leaved shrubs,

summer and winter.
