BETULA—Continued 
I. alba pendula gracilis. Cut-Leaf Weeping White Birch. 
Those who know and admire the distinctive character¬ 
istics and beauty of the White Birch know it is unusual 
and do not expect to find it among ordinary listings 
of popular trees. It forms a pyramidal tree of moder¬ 
ately rapid growth, and as it grows older the younger 
branches become pendulous, drooping decidedly toward 
the ground. We have splendid specimens that are of¬ 
fered at a very low price.

Cornus - Dogwood 
Cornus Florida. White-Flowering Dogwood. A native tree 
well known to everyone. It is beautiful all the year, and 
there is hordly a woody plant quite as useful as our native 
Dogwood. Its blossoms are conspicuous, coming early in 
the spring. The foliage is attractive all summer, and in 
the fall colors beautifully, with red berries that hang on 
most of the winter. It can be used os a specimen, or in

bright, flowering plants like redbud, if is especially showy.

It is not of rapid growth nor especially easy to transplant, but 
the glossy foliage in summer, the brilliant color in the fall,

bark in the winter are considerations that make it especially 
valuable.
