Nurseries (Horticulture) Massachusetts Cambridge Catalogs; Trees Seedlings Catalogs; Fruit trees Seedlings Catalogs; Flowers Catalogs. 36. Cornus Florida Pendula. Weep- ing Dogwood.

Few weeping trees have so many good quali- ties. It will be hardy even in Canada. The straight leading shoot will obviate the necessitv of high grafting or training. The large white flowers, for which the dogwood is famous, succeeded by its clusters of red berries, and finally the bril- liant red of the autumn leaves, will make . this tree, with its graceful drooping habit, one of the most popular of recent novelties.
