For the American dogwoods.
the time Of Towering Is past.
Members Of the family which
bloom in June are Of the
Chinese or Japanese variety,
Cornus Kousa. The beautiful.
star-shaped flowers cover the
trees which are in full leaf.
Belatedly, my arrangement
shows two delicate branches Of
an unusual native dogwood. /
am told that this double
Towering dogwood was discov-
cred sometime before 1914 In
Orange County, N. C.
Natural crosses as well as
mutations result in new
varieties and 1t can happen in
your own backyard. OF many
possibilities, some are always
realized and these bring adj
ditfcnal beauty to the fas-
cinating kingdom of plants.
Two light branches of this
double dogwood are placed in
q natural. growing position In
the bowl. They emerge from the
holder as an harmonious unit,
combining container. base and
flowers into q unit. Since this
is such O very simple thing to
dos I thought ! would like to
give you its tongue twisting
botanical name which makes q
story in itself.

more like each other than like
any other plants are classified
as o genus. When several
genera have characteristics
more In common with each
other than with any other
genus. they are grouped into
q family.
Families, which have char
acteristics In common with
each other than with any other
families are grouped into q
larger division which Is distinct
from any other large division.
This is called q phyluTn. These
are ordered according TO their
increasing complexities.
From q quarter million
species TO about q dozen phyla
}. each plant has found its
proper place Of reference.
Our dogwood belongs to the
phylum which embraces all seed
plants. Fruit-seed plants have
been so successful in their
method Of reproduction that
almost half Of the plant king
dom belongs TO this division.
Our pretty plant is o member
Of the carrot family, which has
small green or white flowers
in clusters. the umbellales. This
family contains the dogwoods.
Among the dogwood family,
one Is Of the genus cornus
to which all American dog
woods belong. The word florida
or Towering specifies O snowy,
Towering, small tree with petal
like white or pink bracts be-
meath the compact flowers.
Cornus florida now add
|plena pluribractaetae. and you
know that It must have many
plural bracts which makes It
q unique variety Of American
dogwood.

Towering !

From Miss M. OIL. 25l1 @

rhododendrons and lilacs must
come in pairs. like holly trees.
before there will be blossoms9
Answer: No. The Towering Of
rhododendrons and lilacs is de-
pendent upon soil and exposure.
The rhodos like light shade and
an acid soil; the lilacs want
sun and o neutral soil. Feeding,
mulching, and watering will do
much to hasten the Towering.

Star Garden Editor

In these days we hear and
read much about this or that
hybrid plant, and what wonder
full results 1t will produce. Very
few, however, understand the
interest In hybrids that
prompts every plant breeder to
seek ways In which to create
new ones. Hyhrids do have
many advantages. perhaps the
farmer who has been growing
hybrid corn for many years Is
the most enthusiastic about
hybrids. Hybrid corn has en-
abled the farmer to increase
his average yields 2 or 800 per
cent by using adapted hybrids
Certainly that Is enough to
show one value Of hybridiza-
ton.
Hybrids have certain char
acteristics that set them apart
from the n-pollinated vari-
cites. Usually they have what
Is commonly referred to IS n.y.
brid vigor. They are normally
stronger growing plants. have
larger flowers as witness the
1868 All-America zinnia, Fire
cracker. with its 6-inch flowers.
Hybrids have greater uni
formity. A given hybrid flower
or vegetable should have alb
solute uniformity as TO size and
shape.
Generally, q hybrid Is more
productive than its parents.
Hybrid corn mentioned above
Is, Of course, outstanding but

Mas and many other products
