ways, down to the very end of the Peninsula. Let 

 us go down with it. As you proceed, you pass Cali- 

 fornian privet, on your left, and at the point of the 

 fork, on your right, Scotch elm and American bass- 

 wood. On the point of this island of shrubbery that 

 now meets you on your left is a good clump of dwarf 

 Japan catalpas. Following down the right hand path- 

 way embracing this island of shrubbery set in the 

 encircling walk, you will find white mulberry, easily 

 known by its glossy three shapes of leaves, and a 

 fine scarlet fruited thorn. Another little island of 

 shrubbery meets us as we go on, and we take the 

 left branch of the Walk. Then we pass, on our right, 

 beginning at the end of this island, ginkgo tree, known 

 easily by its fan-shaped leaves, fringe tree, more gink- 

 go trees, yellow-wood, small leaved European linden, 

 and Japan pagoda tree at the far or eastern end of 

 this "island." On your left hand you have passed up to 

 this point, English hawthorn, which bears beautiful 

 pink flowers in May, Japan quince on the westerly 

 point of another island of shrubbery set in here, then 

 two fine yellow-woods with smooth gray bark, then 

 gingko tree again and Standish's honeysuckle on the 

 easterly end of this "island," just opposite the Japan 

 pagoda tree on the easterly end of the other "island.'* 

 We are through the "islands," so gracefully set in 

 the paths here, and the Walk loiters on in easy wind- 

 ings to the extreme end of the Peninsula. If you 

 go on with it, you find two pretty black haws a little 

 further along, standing about opposite each other, 

 and beyond these, on your right, as you go easterly,
