Hogwood 
Dogwoods can be used to great advan- 
tage in every garden. Maturing at about 
fifteen feet, they never really get too 
large, yet with branches pruned _ high, 
they can be used as shade trees in small 
gardens. ‘Their white or pink blossoms 
in the spring make them the most popu- 
lar of all spring flowering trees. Dog- 
woods thrive in either a shady or sunny 
location. 
Mulch them 
Dogwoods are not too particular as to 
sol requirements, but seem to appreciate 
a mulch of well-rotted manure applied in 
the spring and again in the fall. When 
transplanting use good soil—being care- 
ful not to plant them deeper than they 
were in the nursery.

Right Planting 
Planting too deep is usually fatal. It 
is very important that newly planted dog- 
woods be wrapped spirally with 3 or 4 
inch wide strips of burlap from the 
ground up about two feet or more for 
protection against borers. Leave burlap 
on for two growing seasons or until it 
rots. More newly transplanted dogwoods 
are lost from borer damage than any 
other cause. 
Watering 
Watering during July and August 
helps insure good bud set for the next 
spring’s flowers, and keeps foliage look- 
ing rich green until the beautiful autumn 
colors cover the tree.
