A kind of mushroom shaped shelter has taken up 

 its abode near the westerly end of the Old Fashioned 

 Flower Garden and about opposite it are several noble 

 Kentucky coffee trees, glorying in scaly bark and 

 sweeping foliage. Beside the more easterly of this 

 group you will find an interesting shrub, bladder 

 senna. You can know it by its compound leaves, made 

 up of from seven to eleven oval and somewhat trun- 

 cate leaflets. In summer it hangs full of yellow flowers 

 which change into peculiar bladder-like pods. 



Go back a little now to the spot where you found 

 the white Tartarian honeysuckle and follow the right 

 hand fork of the Walk which goes down the mid-slope 

 of the hill. Not far from the junction of the Walk, a 

 stalwart old mossy-cup or bur oak, hangs over your 

 head, from the right of the Walk, large leaves with 

 characteristic deep sinuses about opposite each other 

 near the middle of the leaf, plainly speaking "macro- 

 carpa." If you have never seen the acorns of this oak 

 make haste to find one and see how it frouzles all over 

 the nut, with a twisted fringe that in many cases quite 

 covers the acorn. This feature has given it the name 

 overcup oak and well does it merit it. 



Directly down the slope of the hill from the bur oak 

 on the path below the one you now stand on, near 

 a point where the Walk comes close to the water, you 

 will find, if you take a run down there, some very well 

 grown young paper mulberry trees. The paper mul- 

 berry has a very characteristic bark and when you get 

 to know it, you can pick it out quite a little distance 

 away. Its bark is a light pinkish gray and at intervals
