Dogwood Whitens Countryside
The showy whlto dogwood growing
wild tn South Carolina from tho sou
to tho mountain tops and planted
along our streets and on our lawns
is on? of tho loveliest sights nature
givos us.
"llowover, this groat show of whlto
is so spectacular that we rarely see
the dogwood flowers," says the Stato
Forest service. The dogwood flowers
f
are very small, scarcely atjt eighth of
an inch across. Kach has a pistil,
four stamens and four petals. Twenty
or more of those minutely perfect
flowers are clustered in a head about
a half inch aoross and this head Is
surrounded by four white or pinkish
showy bracts. These four bracts are
what wo usually see when looking at
the dogwood in bloom. The flowers
have a delicate pleasing odor.
Our mill workers see dm 1 work with
tho dogwood all year around, inasmuch
as most of the shuttles used in
weaving are made from tho tough
wood of the dogwood trees. This wood
takes a high polish, is dense, does not
splinter easily, wears smoothly and
curvos easily. The wood Is also used
for bobbins and picker sticks, novelties,
mallets and tent stakes. Several
mills in South Carolina cut the treos
into blocks and one large concern In
Greenville manufactures the finished
dogwood shuttle from tne iuu&'u
blocks.
The trees are very susceptible to
fire damaging their trunks and a high
percentage of the waste in working
the wood is directly tracable to woods
fires. Trees of over ten Inches in
diameter are quite rare but some trees
have reached diameters of twentyfour
inches.
The dogwood is found in all of our
state parks but it is especially abundant
in Barnwell State Park between
Barnwell and Blackville, at Poinsett
State Park near Sumter, at Le? State
Park near Bishopville, at Paris Mountain
State Park near Greenville, at
Oconee State Park near Walhalla and
at superb Table Rock State Park near
Pickens.
The flowering dogwood also puts on
a splendid show in the autumn with
Its gorgeous foliage and its scarlet
fruit which it retains during the better
part of the winter. The dogwoods
belong to the same tree family as the
black, water and tupelo gums.
