CORNUS - The Flowering Dogwoods 
Thrive in low, moist, fertile soils, preferring semi-shaded locations 
Small trees desirable from every point of view. In the spring they 
make a picture of unforgettable beauty with their drifts of showy 
flowers at the edge of a woodland or against a background of ever¬ 
greens. The foliage turns dark red in autumn and brilliant red ber¬ 
ries make it a decorative tree during the fall. 
Comus florida. White-Flowering Dogwood. 1? ft. (Sv.) The common 
Dogwood of eastern North America, which produces large, snowy 
white flowers in May before the leaves appear. In autumn its 
glittering red berries cluster in a nest of glossy foliage which turns 
various shades of pink, crimson, scarlet and maroon. During the 
winter the twiggy branches make a lacy pattern of intricate beauty. 
No other tree appears so attractive throughout all the seasons.
