mulberry; a graceful yellow-flowered buckeye (Pavia 

 lutea) with yellow flowers in May or June; black 

 haw (Viburnum prunifolium) and Austrian pine. 



Upon the slope of the hill, back of the Austrian 

 pine you will find some more English walnuts. Fur- 

 ther on, along the Walk, and back on the slope is a 

 fine Japan pagoda tree with locust-like foliage. As 

 you round the turn of the Walk to go under the Arch 

 (Cleft Ridge Span) a remarkable tree of spreading 

 habit and dwarf umbrella form meets you. It is very 

 conspicuous with its wide-reaching drooping branches. 

 This is the Camperdown elm and is exceedingly 

 picturesque in summer or winter. Its leaf with its 

 long points and rough surface marks its kinship with 

 the Scotch elm (Ulinus montana). Just beyond the 

 Camperdown, near the Arch, are masses of Taxus 

 baccata, var. elegantissima (variegated English yew), 

 beautiful sights in early June when their new shoots 

 of golden-yellow tuft out all over them. Just as you 

 go under the Arch look up on your right and see a 

 handsome Bhotan pine hanging its tassels high up 

 on the bank. This brings us to the Flower Garden.
