smooth green leaves and rugged bark. Then two more 

 black haws and then a pretty English hawthorn 

 (Cratccgus oxyacantha) with smooth, obovate leaves 

 deeply cut in at the lobes and distinctly wedge shaped 

 at the base. This also bears white flowers in May. 

 But, although there are many white flowered English 

 hawthorns in the Park, there are also many which 

 bear single and double pink, and crimson flowers. Be- 

 yond the English hawthorn is choke cherry (Primus 

 Virginiana), then black haw again and then a cluster 

 of beautiful pink and white flowered Weigela, (Dier- 

 rilla auiabilis) . Further on, that you may know the 

 spot, you pass several Oriental spruces, one after the 

 other. About here, the Walk bends around to meet the 

 Drive, and at its very corner is a fine sycamore maple. 

 Going back now to the tulip tree opposite the point 

 where the Drive opens into the Carriage Concourse, 

 and following south again, noting the things on the 

 left of the Walk, you pass Austrian pine (opposite 

 bridal wreath spiraea) ; Pyramidal arbor vitae (oppo- 

 site sycamore maple) ; Oriental spruce (opposite lilac 

 and amorpha) ; Chinese quince (Cydonia Sinensis) op- 

 posite the two black haws which stand just north of 

 the lamp-post by the Drive. This is a peculiar tree 

 and worth noticing. It looks in winter as if it might 

 be a hornbeam. It bears beautiful pink flowers in 

 spring and has thick finely serrate roundish leaves, 

 almost leathery in texture. Beyond the Chinese quince, 

 is English elm, then, close to the Walk a cucumber 

 tree. Back from the Walk is a good sized Kentucky 

 coffee tree, tall, rather Y-form in habit of branching,
