Cornell.
Not a park in Washington, not a
little triangular public square. but
has, these days, its gay showing of
the male cornell, or cornelian cherry.
fashioned English novels are al
ways rich in references to the cor
nelian cherry: perhaps 1t is now con-
sidered a decorative shrub that has
been q little overdone in it's native
country. But i, for one, am never
tired Of looking at it, coming, as it
does. so early in the year, bearing its
little blossoms so 1auntlly and brave
ly, all on it's naked branches.
1t is q bit strange to think that
flowers so modest as those of the
honey yellow cornell are closely kin TO
the starry beauties of Towering dog
wood; yet such is the case, but where
the dogwood is. above all, an Ameri-
can flower. the cornell comes to us
from the Old World, where it has been
a beloved garden shrub for perhaps
8 900 years.
Romulus, they say. made a spear
shaft of the wood and, flinging it,
staked out the boundaries Of his eter-
nal city. If, in the hot months. a
Roman saw the cornell droop a little.
he raised a shout Of superstitious
alarm, and people hurried with water
buckets to keep the sacred bush alive.
Nobody takes so much trouble for the
quaint old bush now, and 1t is sacred
to nothing except early Spring lowell.
