LONG MEADOW TO PLAZA ENTRANCE. 



In this ramble we start at the fork of the Walk 

 as you come out from Ambergill, and follow the 

 branch that runs along the easterly side of Long 

 Meadow. The trees you pass are well known to you 

 now, if they have not been before, for you have met 

 their kinsmen many times on these rambles. On 

 the right, American hornbeam, American chestnut, and 

 English elm; on the left, European hornbeam, Cali- 

 fornian privet, English elm, American chestnut, white 

 oak, with another chestnut quite near it and you have 

 come to another forking of the Walk. For the present 

 we take the right and follow the easterly side of Long 

 Meadow to Meadow Port Arch. We will then come 

 back and follow the left branch from this fork of 

 the Walk along the westerly side of Long Meadow 

 out to Plaza Entrance. 



As you go north-easterly, you pass three red maples 

 on the left, and about opposite to them, over on the 

 right, well across the green, you find many things of in- 

 terest, in the vicinity of the large clumps of shrubbery 

 there. These masses make a fine display just on the bor- 

 der of the Bridle Path between it and the Walk you are 

 following, and when autumn sends over them the sting- 

 ing breath of her flame, they burst into sudden scarlet 

 and crimson.
