CLADASTRIS. Virgilie, Ger. Virgilier, Fr. C tinctoria, syn. Virgilea liitea. Yellow Wood. One of the finest American trees. Of moderate growth, broadly rounded head, foliage compound like that of the RoMnia, and of a light green color turning to a waim yellow in autumn; flowers pea-shaped, white, sweet scented, appearing in June in great pro- fusion, in long drooping racemes covering the tree. See cut. $ CORNUS. Dogwood. Hartriegel, Ger. Cornouillier, FV. C floricla. White-flowering Dogwood. An American species, of spread- ing irregular form, growing from 16 to 25 feet high. The flowers produced in Spring before the leaves appear, are from 3 to 3 inches in diameter, white and very showy. They begin to appear just as the Magnolia flowers are fading, and are invaluable for maintaining a succession of bloom in the garden border or on the lawn. They also are very durable, lasting in favorable weather more than two weeks. Besides being a tree of fine form, its foliage is of a grayish green color, glossy and handsome, and in the autumn turns to a deep red, rendering the tree one of the most showy and beautiful objects at that season. We regard it, all things considered, as one of the most valuable trees for ornamental planting, rank- ing next to the Magnolia among flowering trees, and only second to the Scarlet Oak (which it almost equals) in brilliant foliage in autumn.
