DOGWOODS 
( Cornus) 
No native tree is more admired and extensively used than the Dogwood, 
which is a shapely, dwarf, rapid grower blooming while quite young. Beautiful 
as specimens and is especially useful at edge of woodland among taller growing 
trees or as a border to an evergreen background, affording a most pleasing 
effect in the Spring when in full blossom. See Dogwood Group Planting on 
front cover. 
The Dogwood may be had in pure white or deep pink. The two colors com- 
bined in group plantings produce a striking Springtime picture; the flowering 
season will vary but here in Virginia is usually late April, just ahead of Apple 
blossom time. Four-petal blossoms 1 to 2 inches across. Brilliant Autumn 
foliage and red berries which carry well into Winter.

ering tree. Tree and habits of growth identical to the White flowering
