site the Restaurant's driveway is a fine Norway maple 

 and there are more of them right around it here. Close 

 beside the driveway, further on, not far from a lamp- 

 post, you will find, English cork-bark elm (Ulnins 

 suberosa) which you can know at once by its heavy 

 cork-ridged limbs and rugged trunk. The tree has a 

 rough, tough expression which you can easily get to 

 know on sight. Lamp-posts are good landmarks and 

 very near to the one here, just east of it, close by the 

 Walk, is a fine sycamore maple (Acer pseudo- 

 platanus). It gets its name from a resem- 

 blance of its leaves to those of the common 

 buttonball (Platanns), "false-platanus." Compare 

 the leaves .of the two trees. On the oppo- 

 site side of the Walk, a little below the syca- 

 more maple you will find the pretty Siberian pea tree 

 (Caragana arboresccns) with its leaflets in pairs and 

 }ellow flowers when in bloom and, below the Siberian 

 pea, stands a yellowwood. Opposite the Siberian pea 

 tree, on the right of the Walk is a black cherry 

 (Primus serotirm) which you can pick out at onc 

 by its rough, scaly bark. Its bark makes you think 

 something of the Kentucky coffee tree, but the coffee 

 tree excels it in roughness. On the border of the 

 Drive a little south and west of the black cherry is 

 a small hemlock, with its fine and feathery foliage 

 waving a pleasing contrast. There is always a forest 

 glint about the foliage of the hemlock. Opposite the 

 hemlock is Norway maple, and another just south, 

 near the border of the Drive. Then come a few Eng- 

 lish field maples (Acer campestre) with short sturdy
