the Walk (the westerly, beside the Pool) is a cockspur 

 thorn of the variety pyracanthafolia, and if you fol- 

 low this Walk around the margin of the Pool you will 

 pass Aralia spinosa, Andromeda axillaris with blos- 

 soms, on curving stems, like rows of little lilies of the 

 valley, Oriental spruce, magnificent rhododendrons, 

 weeping Norway spruce, Forsythia viridissiina, button 

 bush (Cephalanthns occidentalis) and sweet pepper- 

 bush (Clcthra aini folia), near the stone posts at the 

 southern end of the Pool, Spircca callosa, var. alba and 

 Indian currant or coral berry (Symphoricarpos i'iil- 

 garls). On the little peninsula, almost in the center 

 of the Pool, stands a curious tree which you can easily 

 pick out by its umbrella-like form. It is a weeping 

 variety of the Japan pagoda tree or Sophora Japonica. 

 The Sophora gets its name from its pea-like flowers 

 and fruit. Around on the eastern side of the Pool you 

 will find the smooth winterberry (Ilex Icevigata), the 

 sweet bay or swamp magnolia (Magnolia glauca) , and 

 hidden a little back from the Walk, near a fork of 

 the path to Rose Garden, the Euonymus Thunbergl- 

 amis or Enonymns alatus, remarkable for the corky 

 wings on its branches. 



From the Pool, going south, the path forks into two 

 branches. The left runs past magnificent clumps of 

 Viburnum plicatum, Spiraa Reevesiana, Spircca Van 

 Honttei, cork barked elms, umbrella trees, with leaves 

 a foot long and over, Tartarian honeysuckle, with 

 bright red berries in summer, Magnolia Sonlangeana, 

 covered in April with beautiful white flowers flushed 

 with pink (pink on the outside, white on the inside).
