The tree often reaches 15 to 20 feet in height with a low, broad head and tiers of horizontal branches. It can also be trained in the form of a large broad shrub with mul tiple branches from the base. The four large bracts sur rounding each cluster of tiny yellow flowers opening in early spring produce the showy display of white for which the tree is famed. Besides the ty pical form with white bracts there are pink varieties^- In autumn the leaves turn to ?or geous shades of orange, scarlet, and crimson, equaled by only a few other trees. The bright red fruit borne in small clusters adds to the colorful autumn effect. In the winter the button-shaped buds are prominent on the tips of the greenish or reddish-brown twigs. The dogwood grows best in light shade, but will tolerate full sun. The most favorable soil is moist, fertile loam slightly acid-to neutral . The additionof peatorleafmold im proves nearly all garden soils for the dogwood. After the trees have recovered from HOME IMPROVEMENT WHAT YOU CAN DO ?

Cub Scouts Hold Pinewood Derby Cub Scouts of Pack 405 In Murphy held one of their big events of the year, the Plnewood Derby, on March 27 in the Fellowship Hall of the First Methodist Church. The cars that are raced in the derby are pieces of pine wood that the Cub Scouts whi ttle into the shape of a car with Dad's help. The tiny cars can not exceed 2 3/4 inches in width and 7 3/8 inches in length and must not weigh more thanfiveoun ces. The derby is held on a track 31 feet long and eight inches wide. The cars startfrom gra vity. transplanting, growth can be stimulated by the same chem ical fertilizers that are used on the grass and other plants, but such feeding is not usually needed. A mulch of leaves or other coarse material is espe cially beneficial to dogwoods. It keeps the soil moist near the surface where their roots are most active. The best time to tranplant dogwoods is in the fall and win ter. They are not among the easiest of trees to transplant Plant them very shallow no deeper than they came out of the ground. Nursery-grown trees that have been root pruned and getting full sun light are far superior to those dug up in the woods. Small trees, even seedlings, live much better than large trees. While the trees are in a weakened condition after transplanting, borers some times cause damage. Their attacks can be greatly red uced and the bark protected from possible sunburn by paper or burlap strips wound spirally around the trunks. Injury from these causes does not often occur after the trees regain their normal state of growth. Unless the rainfall is timely and ample during the first season watering is necessary. Propagation is by the seed, which ripens in the fall. The pulpy outer coats are removed by softening in water for a day or two, then rubbing and wash ing to clean the seed. If the seed is planted at once with out drying out it usually ger minates very well when spring arrives. It may bestoredover winter to be planted early in the spring by mixing damp sand and burying it in a well drained place. A winter tem perature of about 40 degrees F. is favorable. Allowing seed to dry out may delay germin ation until the second spring. A coldframe is a good place to start the seedlings, or a situation protected from strong wind will suffice. Rich, friable loam well supplied with arganic matter is preferred. The seed is covered half an inch deep. The young sprouts are rather fragile and will not push through a deep cover or a crusted surface. After the seedlings have emerged a light canopy is beneficial for a few weeks but Is not required if at tention is given to watering as needed to keep the surface moist. The seedlings nor mally grow several inches to a foot or more the first season under good conditions if not overcrowded and may be set out in the open nursery the next spring. The pink form and other horticultural varieties do not come true from seed. These are propagated by grafting or budding onto seedlings of the typical white form, and some times by cuttings.
