is crowned with a goodly company of conifers. 

 Among them you will find the beautiful Himalayan 

 or Bhotan pine with its soft and silvery tassels of 

 leaves, the handsome Cephalonian silver firs with their

 the Norway sypruces with their strong incurved leaves 

 Come here when the wind sounds his orchestral music.

 violin, the 'cello are all ringing with the melodies of

 dark woods. This is one of the joys of Park rambling. 

 A rock, a dell, stumbled into, sets wing to a thousand 

 woodland memories and you live over again those 

 days which if you are a city worker, are so rare and so 

 lovely to you.
