ALONG THE LAKESIDE— 
THIRD EXCURSION 
‘* The glossy holly loved the park, 
The yew-tree lent its shadow dark, 
And many an old oak, worn and bare, 
With all its shiver’d boughs, was there.” 
—S1ir WALTER SCOTT. 
AN a lazy person, averse to long rambles, dis- 
cover a pleasant path of ten minutes’ length, 
along which he can find, mostly within touch, 
jifty ornamental tree-species, native and foreign, singly 
and in clusters, picturesquely grouped, illustrating every 
prominent type of form, foliage, and fruit in the growth 
of sylva, at home and abroad? Yes, the landscape- 
gardener of the Park has provided just such an oppor- 
tunity along the west side of the Lake, and this is the 
route of our present excursion. The following list is the 
briefest possible account of what is brought into view 
successively by beginning at the south end of the 
‘‘ Bow-Bridge,’’ and following the path around the 
west side till one reaches the little bridge at the north 
end of the Lake. The distance is covered in less than 
ten minutes.
