Dogwoods 
CORNUS florida. White-flowering Dogwood. Many know the 
Dogwood, and have seen the sign, “Spare the Dogwood. - It 
takes years for a branch to grow.” In early May, before the 
leaves appear, it illuminates the woodland with white 
blossoms, floating like butterflies through the darker parts 
of the forest, or on the edges massed in horizontal strata, 
white as snow or tinged with pink. In September its brilliant 
red berries feed the robins on their south-bound journey. 
A week or two later the foliage turns red or scarlet with the 
first sumac and woodbine. In landscape planting it is 
properly used as a specimen tree, mass planting with shrubs, 
or bordering evergreen groups and woodland. Each 10

harmonizes completely with the native Dog¬ 
wood and extends the season of bloom about 
one month. It blooms after the foliage comes 
out to afford it a background. Instead of a 
cluster of red berries, it has a globular berry 
about % inch in diameter filled with edible 
yellow 
pulp.
