Paul Davey, writing in the Washington Star tells why the dogwood was chosen to form the cross which Christ crucfed On account of the hardness of it's woods it selected and the legend as Davey tells it, explains that the dogwood tree dis tressed being chosen for such purpose but that the Saviour said to it. Never again shall the dogwood tree grow large enough to be used for Henceforth shall be slender and bent and twisted and it's blossoms shall be in the of two long and two short petals and the center of the outer edge of each petal there shall be nail prnts brown with rust and stained with blood and the center of the flower will be crown Of thorns All those see it will remember it on the dogwood that crucified and this tree shall not be mutiated destroyed but cherished and protected as reminder of my agony and death upon the cross.
