I 9 8 



which springs away to the left, you pass variegated 

 English yew, English yew, rhododendron, thread-like 

 Oriental arbor vitse and golden English yew. 



After a delightful sauntering under darksome 

 shades of hornbeam and hemlock and many other 

 things green and woodsy you are led through a rock 

 bordered glen out upon an edge of Long Meadow. The 

 path branches here and we take the left which leads 

 around the Swan Boat Lake. 



A pretty little black haw stands close by the Walk 

 arid the water, on the right as you go westward. On 

 the left, gathered in a close group about the junction 

 of the Walk are red maple, sweet gum, with Ameri- 

 can chestnut behind it, and then scarlet oak. Further 

 on a little, tall red oaks rear up their strength and 

 beauty, and as the path comes close again to the 

 water, white oak, black haw, chestnut, and two very 

 fine sweet gums quite close to each other overshadow 

 you. As the path joins another which has climbed 

 up from the Drive, it turns north-westward and bends 

 around Swan Boat Lake, over a beautifully set rustic 

 bridge. On the way around this little sheet of water 

 you pass on the right, or water side, Californian privet, 

 black cherry, oleaster, Van Houtte's spiraea, honey 

 locust, with a fine scarlet oak beside it, and all along 

 the north-western border of the lake, handsome sweet 

 gums, chestnuts, pin oak and the finest groups of 

 pepperidge trees in the Park. These last should be 

 seen, by special appointment, in the days of early 

 autumn. Their glossy leaves take the most beautiful 

 shades of rich maroon or brilliant, cool crimson.
