winged elm or wahoo, of the southeastern United States. 
The American elm and the slippery elm are wild in the 
grounds. The hackberries (Celtis) represented are the 
Georgia hackberry, the dog hackberry, and Small’s hack- 
berry, of the southeastern United States; and the nettle- 
tree, or sugarberry, of eastern North America. The 
water-elms are illustrated by the sharp-pointed water- 
elm, or Zelkova, a native of Japan. The mulberry family 
(Moraceae) is represented by the osage orange (Toxylon), 
a native of the south central parts of the United States, 
trees of which may be found to the south of the drive- 
way from the long bridge; and by the Russian red and 
white mulberries. The kadsura tree family has for its 
representatives the kadsura tree, of Japan, and the elm- 
leaved eucommia, of China, located just to the south of 
the row of large tulip trees east of the Bronx River. 
The magnolia collection is planted on the west and south 
sides of the swale between the two ridges. The long- 
leaved umbrella tree is one of those to be seen here; it is 
a native of the mountain woods from Virginia to Florida and 
Mississippi. ‘The cucumber tree, the white-leaved Japa- 
nese magnolia, the umbrella tree, and a number of hybrid 
forms are other magnolias to be looked for here. Large 
specimens of the umbrella tree and of the large-leaved um- 
brella tree will be found at the north end of the herbaceous 
grounds, on the west side; and still other species at the 
fruticetum. The tulip-tree is shown by a row of fine wild 
specimens just to the south of the long bridge over the 
Bronx River, the largest trees within the grounds of the 
Garden. ‘This tree is native of the eastern United States 
and yields a valuable lumber known as yellow poplar or 
white-wood; the Indians formerly made their canoes from 
this wood. Four parallel rows of this tree form part of 
the approach to the museum building. Related to the 
magnolias is the custard-apple family, represented by two 
specimens of the North American papaw, which will be 
found at the herbaceous grounds on the west side, near
