The d istinction is occasionally great enough to separate them into red and 
pink varieties, hut a season will come along with the right weather condi¬ 
tions that will upset all the calculations and all the flowers will he very 
deep pink or red, or perhaps the other way. Therefore, nurserymen have 
not dared to offer them as pink or red, hut use this description without 
discrimination. 
CoRNUS Kousa, {Chinese Dogwood) resembles in general hahit Cornus 
Florida, the Dogwood of the Eastern States, hut the flowers are produced 
a month later. The foliage colors beautifully, and appears to have no 
enemies, as the foliage is never injured by insects. This variety prolongs 
the flowering season of the Dogwoods. The fruit is cherry red and shaped 
like cherries. 
Cornus Mascula (Cornelian Cherry) is a large growing shrub, with 
yell ow flowers produced in multitudes. The general effect is that of For- 
sythia. The fruits are pendulous and resemble egg-shaped cherries. The 
blooming period is with or before Forsythia.

Dear Sir: 
Permit me to tKank you for the very fine quality of the stock you sent me. I have planted 
many trees on my place during the last five years, but have never bought any that have been 
more carefully grown, or better shaped, or with more satisfactory root systems. It is plain 
that you take a great deal of pride in the quality of your product.

Dear Sir: 
It is indeed a pleasure to write and tell you of the good condition in which the 300 Japanese 
Double-Flowering Cherry Trees were received. Everyone arrived in good condition, well packed 
and handled properly. In my 25 years’ experience in handling trees for various parks and estates, 
I am frank to say I have never unpacked and planted a shipment where everything was more 
satisfactory than the one I received from you. They were properly bunched, labeled and packed, 
and I am glad to have had a part in the purchasing of these trees, and will do all that is 
possible to make the Cherry Tree plot in Riverside Park a beauty spot in days to come. 
Respectfully yours, 
George H. F^eed, Supt. Park Forestry Dept.
