Our native Dogwood blooms in spring before the foliage appears 
Red-Flowered Dogwood 
(Cornus Jlorida rubra) 
With its bright pink blossoms of a fresh, pronounced color, 
which continues from the beginning to the end of the blooming 
period, this Red-flowered form of the American Dogwood com¬ 
bines, with its unusual bloom, all the good qualities of the 
parent tree. Blooming in the spring before the foliage appears, 
it carries its rich green leaves through the summer, and in the 
autumn is a blaze of brilliant foliage and berries, holding the 
latter long after the foliage is fallen. We particularly recom¬ 
mend the Dogwoods, the red and the white, for mass planting 
along the edge of woodlands, with groups of trees, or as 
specimens. 
Standard Hawthorn Oxyacantba rosea ) 
Gardens always profit by flowering trees judiciously placed. 
The trouble has been the scarcity of neat-growing trees of 
sufficient flowering attractiveness and good foliage to warrant 
their planting in garden work. The Standard Pink-flowering 
Hawthorn makes an excellent tree for the purpose. The habit 
is neat and attractive; the foliage is good all summer, and the 
great masses of lovely, soft pink blossoms in spring make a 
combination meriting a place in every garden.
