exceedingly compact form, very dense in its growth; 
Thunberg’s viburnum, from China and Japan; Siebold’s 
viburnum, from Japan; the Japanese snowball, from 
China and Japan; the wayfaring tree, from Europe 
and western Asia; and the woolly viburnum, from China 
and Japan; among American forms may be men- 
tioned the veiny arrow-wood, the black haw or sloe, the 
withe-rod, and the larger withe-rod with its large bunches 
of showy fruit. The group of the honeysuckles occu- 
pies a position across the path from the viburnums, and 
here may be found, among others, the fragrant honey- 
suckle, from China, one of the first to send forth its blos- 
soms richly laden with perfume; Morrow’s honeysuckle, 
from Japan, covered with coral-red fruit in late summer 
and fall; Standish’s honeysuckle, from China; Albert’s 
honeysuckle, from Turkestan; the Turkestan fly-honey- 
suckle; and the golden-veined honeysuckle, from China 
and Japan, with the veins richly marked with yellow, or 
sometimes the whole leaf yellow. Across the transverse 
path to the south, and overlooking the lake, may be 
found the weigelas, symphoricarpos and the diervillas; the 
weigelas are illustrated by many showy forms, flowering 
in early summer; the showiest Symphoricarpos is the 
smooth snowberry, native of northern North America, laden 
in autumn with its ivory-white fruit, making it most at- 
tractive; the diervillas are represented by two or three 
species, including the bush honeysuckle, a native of 
northeastern North America. The elder-berries (Sambucus) 
are also represented by two or three species. The hybrid 
abelia will also be found here; its fragrant flowers are borne 
in great profusion during late summer and early fall; the 
sepals are deep red-brown and the corolla is white, flushed 
with rose, making a pleasing combination. 
Following the viburnums comes the thistle family. Few 
of the woody species of this family are hardy in this lati- 
tude, but large numbers of the herbaceous species may be 
found at the herbaceous grounds. As representatives in
