the Walk, you pass a fine display of paper mulberries. 

 These lean out from the rock, off to the south of the 

 Walk, and are very handsome with their gray banded 

 bark and curiously cut leaves. The one at the easterly 

 end of the large rock here is very handsome. Note 

 the bands of darker hue on their bark. Southeast of 

 this rock, out upon the lawn, you will find a splendid 

 mass of the scaled juniper. It is a low, trailing 

 growth, and is about in line with a white pine, on the

 linear-lanceolate, sharp-pointed, and convex on the 

 outer sides. They are glaucous on the undersides;

 in threes, and rather loosely pressed together. This

 mass here is very handsome, and it is thriving in a 

 way that delights your heart. This is the same kind 

 of low juniper you met near the Terrace, on its west-

 upon a lusty young purple beech. Where this branch 

 of Walk (the left one) meets the Drive, an American 

 hornbeam stands in the left corner, and a honey locust 

 in the right. Cross the Drive and take up the path 

 again toward Bolivar Hill. On your left, near the 

 corner of the Walk here, just after you have crossed 

 the Drive, you will see some low shrubs with very
