former tree turns to a beautiful, soft, light fawn color, 

 the latter to a subdued bronze. 



Beyond the cucumber tree, about midway toward the 

 water's edge, you will find another Osage orange, and 

 beyond this tree, a red maple leaning over the stream. 

 Beyond the red maple is golden willow again, and 

 to the left of this tree, by the Walk, another cucumber 

 tree. Beyond this cucumber tree, close by the Walk,

 branches and large leaves in considerable contrast 

 both in point of size and texture from those of the 

 broad-leaved European linden beside it. Next beyond 

 the linden comes American hornbeam, with its birch- 

 like leaves, but with bark that is only hornbeam. No 

 other tree can lay claim to its smooth, hard-finished 

 bark so beautifully veined with threads of silver. Be- 

 yond the hornbeam a mass of purple barberry spreads 

 its beautiful color against the wealths of green nestled 

 here. Diagonally opposite the barberry, on the other 

 side of the Walk is European linden. 



The path we are following forks again here, one 

 branch stealing around to the right to creep through 

 the canopies of waving green out to Second Summer 

 House, the left goes on to search the nooks about the

 you pass flowering dogwood ; two red maples ; another 

 flowering dogwood ; huckleberry ; sweet syringa, in a 

 large clump just beyond an open stretch of Walk; be- 

 side it a clump of large flowered syringa ; cucumber 

 tree, a little offside to the right ; red maple ; cucum- 

 ber tree again, and, very near to the Summer House,
