Japanese Dogwood 
This unusual type of Cornus rep¬ 
resents in Japan the Cornus florida of 
our own states, differing, however, in 
that while our American Dogwood 
carries its fruit in close heads individu¬ 
ally distinct, in the Japanese species 
the berries are united together in a 
flushed strawberry-shaped mass. It is 
a bushy, flat-topped tree, about the 
size of our native Dogwood, but the 
leaves are smaller and narrower, and 
the flower-heads are on longer and 
more slender peduncles. It opposes 
our native Dogwood, as, blooming 
about the end of May, it carries its 
flowers after the tree is in full foliage.
