\ 
CLETHRA alnifolia. Summer Sweet; Sweet Pepperbush. 
4 to 5 ft. Spikes of very fragrant flowers in the summer 
and fine foliage make this bush attractive as well as 
adaptable. It likes shade and moisture. 
COFFEE-TREE, Kentucky. See Gymnocladus. 
COMPTONIA asplenifolia. Sweet-Fern. 3 to 4 ft. A low- 
growing shrub with a pleasing fragrance and finely cut, 
fern-like foliage. 
CORAL-BERRY. See Symphoricarpos Chenaulti and 5. 
vulgaris. 
CORNUS florida. White : Dogwood. This flowering tree is 
being planted more and more each year on account of 
its beautiful white flowers in spring, clean attractive 
foliage in summer, and brilliant red and orange coloring 
in autumn. Contrary to general knowledge, the Dog¬ 
wood has many practical uses. The bark furnishes a 
useful substitute for quinine, may be made into a tooth- 
powder, and, when combined with other ingredients 
forms a satisfactory black ink. The bark of the roots 
yields a scarlet dye. The hard, heavy, close-grained 
wood is excellent for tool handles. 
C. florida. Moon. 25 to 30 ft. This type of Dogwood is 
selected from an unusually large, floriferous type of the 
native variety. 
C. florida plena. Double White Dogwood. 15 to 20 ft. 
Differing from the Florida in that it has leaves that are 
larger and of a lighter shade of green, this plant also 
holds its bloom much longer. 
C. florida rubra. Pink Dogwood. 25 to 30 ft. These trees 
are being planted by the million, deservedly, as they 
have all the good points of the native White Dogwood 
in addition to a beautiful pink blossom. They are very 
attractive when planted together with the White Dog¬ 
woods. See front cover for color illustration. 
C. florida salicifolia. 15 to 20 ft. A small tree of willowy 
growth with white flowers. 
C. florida Welchi. 12 to 15 ft. Try one of these small trees 
in a semi-shaded position and see the fine foliage. The 
leaves are variegated in green, pink, and white. 
C. Kousa. Korean Dogwood. 15 to 18 ft. This type blooms 
later in the season than Florida and is more upright. 
The blooms appear after the leaves and form a pleasing 
contrast to the bright green. 
C. sanguinea. Bloodtwig Dogwood. 8 to 12 ft. The name 
Dogwood originated when a decoction of the bark of 
this shrub was used in England to wash mangy dogs. 
Purple or blood-red branches, white flowers, and black 
fruit are some of its distinguishing characteristics. 
C. sibirica (alba sibirica). 8 to 10 ft. This is another one 
of the Dogwoods that has colored branches; they are 
bright coral-red in this instance. The fruit is white. 
C. stolonifera. Red-Osier Dogwood. 7 to 8 ft. Of a spread¬ 
ing habit and with dark red bark and white fruits, this 
shrub does well in moist places. 
CORYLUS americana. American Hazel¬ 
nut; Filbert. 8 to 10 ft. Although best 
known for its ability to bear nuts, this 
shrub makes an attractive addition 
to natural planting. It will thrive in 
almost any soil.

3 ft. This plant is excellent in the 
rock-garden or as a cover for a bank. 
It has small, dark, evergreen leaves 
and scarlet berries. 
C. horizontalis perpusilla. 2 to 3 ft. 
Another spreading Cotoneaster which 
differs from Horizontalis in its smaller 
leaves and larger fruits.

color, cover this bushy, low grower. 
The berries are bright red.
