Shrubs for Spring Effects 
111 
Dogwood, or Osiers 
Cornus 
This family of shrubs is adaptable to use in the shrub border and for screen 
planting. Attractive not only for the wealth of spring bloom, but fully as much 
for the abundant berries and leaf coloring in autumn, and especially for the bright 
twigs which enliven the winter land¬ 
scape. All are quick, vigorous grow¬ 
ers, perfectly hardy, and the summer 
foliage-effect is very satisfactory.
