The one this side is the royal white willow, (Saliv 

 alba, var. regalis) and you can see in its leaves a 

 close relation to the vitellina. But its leaves are much 

 softer and of much finer finish than those of the vitel- 

 lina. Stand back a little and catch the effect of 

 the beautiful silvery-gray cast to the foliage of the 

 rcgalis. The willow beyond it, nearer the Bridge, 

 is purple willow, (SalLv purpured), and quite as lovely 

 in its way. How beautifully are the two contrasted 

 by their foliage. The leaves of the purple willow 

 are lanceolate and set on very noticeably olive, or 

 reddish and purplish stems. Its leaves are of a 

 peculiar soft gray-green, with quite a delicate 

 bluish cast. The effect of its foliage is grace and 

 fineness and certainly this sapling has here been well 

 set. A few steps further on we come to Terrace Bridge 

 which spans the stream. This we cross by a little 

 detour up the slope of the hill, and coming down the 

 opposite bank, start at the abutments of the bridge 

 and walk through Lullwater, keeping the stream on 

 our right. 



Not far from the Bridge, standing by the water, 

 is yellow willow, and beyond it, a little back on the 

 grass, is an excellent specimen of red oak. It is 

 well up to the type and worth your careful study. 

 Look at its leaves and get them in your eye. Look 

 at its bark, note its greenish-gray tinge. See if you 

 can find acorns on it and, if you do, note their thin 

 saucers or cups. Further on two Camperdown elms 

 lean over the bank, close by the water's edge and 

 beyond them well up on the bank is a fine group
