the cucumber tree is a fine sycamore maple, then dog- 

 wood, and then an excellent tulip tree which in June 

 loads itself with handsome chalice-like flowers, green- 

 ish yellow. Nestling close beside the tulip is a beautiful 

 clump of arrowwood (Viburnum dentatum) with 

 leaves exquisitely cut (dentatum) all round their mar-

 scrawny specimens of hemlock, one after the other.

Now let us go along from the tulip tree again, 

 continuing south, noting the things on the right of 

 the Walk. Just beyond it is bridal-wreath spiraea 

 again, then fringe tree and then a soft leaved honey- 

 suckle with yellow-white flowers in late May or early 

 June. This is Lonicera .rylostciim and its flowers are
