you ought to be a little further than half the distance 

 from the oleasters to the Ford Bridge. Now strike 

 off to the water and along the bankside, you will 

 find two very handsome weeping European silver lin- 

 dens. You will know them by their sugar-loaf forms, 

 smooth gray trunks and branches and cordate leaves 

 green above and silvery beneath. Then come a 

 red maple, cherry birch about half way between 

 water and Walk, red maple again, and, back by the 

 border of the Walk, Deutsia crenata, American 

 hornbeam and Norway maple close by the right hand 

 corner of Ford Bridge. 



On the left of the Walk from the entrance of this 

 delightful arcade, you have passed on your way to 

 Ford Bridge, American elm; oleaster (about oppo- 

 site ash-leaved maple) ; black haw; weeping bald cy- 

 press; American white ash (opposite red maple); 

 American basswoods, one of them a little off to the 

 left of the Walk, the other about opposite a European 

 larch ; European silver linden about opposite the first 

 weeping European silver linden by the water; then 

 another European silver linden about opposite the 

 second weeping linden by the water ; then a couple 

 of Norway maples ; and close by the Bridge, Dentzia 

 crenata; Weigela; large flowered syringa and nine- 

 bark. Back of the Deutsia crenata you will find a 

 buckthorn with leaves that make you think of dog- 

 wood, and back of the syringa, is a majestic old yel- 

 low willow. There are. several of these fine old wil- 

 lows here all along the borders of the stream and 

 beautiful sights they are in winter when their twigs 

 turn brassy yellow
