N O rare exotic has greater beauty 
of growth, bloom or Autumn 
coloring than our native white 
flowering Dogwood. In the last of 
May its showy bloom lends its own 
peculiar charm to our woodland bor¬ 
ders and an occasional isolated tree or group of them will stand out boldly 
and command our admiration. This Dogwood will thrive under the great¬ 
est variety of exposures and soil conditions and is hapov in the association 
of other trees. 
four Distinct XTypcs of Dogwood. 
White Flowering. This is the native form as we see it in the woodlands and occasionally 
in plantings and is certainly very attractive. We anticipate a much more genera] use 
of it in the future, many now using it freely along drives and woodland borders as 
well as for specimens, as several orders for them by the hundreds within the past two 
seasons indicates. We have succeeded in getting up a fine lot of this valuabue tree to 
offer for this season. For pnci ■ page 8. 
F'owering. This is a very marked variety of the native white dogwood. In habit 
it is very similar to the type but produces in the greatest quantities blooms whose 
showy involucres are deep rosy red, making a splendid display, either by themselves 
or if planted so as to contrast with the other forms, the effect is often very beautiful.

Pink Flowering. This is an intermediate form as to color, the habit being very like the 
preceding. The color is a clear soft pink when in bloom and where the three are 
planted so that their contrasting colors can be enjoyed, the effect is splendid. This 
form originated here at the Nursery and we are not aware that it can be procured else¬ 
where. For prices see page 8. 
Weening White F’owering. Another and a most interesting form of this desirable tree. 
While the central stem inclines to grow upright, the branches all hang down, form¬ 
ing of the whole plant a very unique effect. It is most effective where it stands alone.
