known to the natives there as kago ma utsugi and yama 
doosin, respectively, the former an exceptionally graceful 
and attractive plant; Neviusia, an extremely local plant, 
known in a wild state only in Alabama; and the nine-bark, 
of eastern North America. To the southward of the spiraea 
group comes the collection of blackberries and raspberries 
(Rubus) represented by many kinds; two of the showiest 
are the Japanese wineberry and the purple flowering- 
raspberry, the latter common in rocky woods in this part 
of the country. Farther to the south is the group of the 
true roses; many kinds may be found here, including the 
sweet-brier, the dog-rose, or wild brier, and the red-leaved 
rose, all natives of Europe; the low or pasture rose of 
eastern North America; and the odd-looking Watson’s 
rose, a native of Japan. Numerous herbaceous species of 
the rose family are grown at the herbaceous grounds. 
Following this is the apple family; to this belong the 
apples and pears, many of which, being trees, may be found 
inthe arboretum. Ofa shrubby habit, and therefore mem- 
bers of this collection, are many of the hawthorns or thorn- 
apples, the quinces, the rose-boxes, the choke-berries, the 
service-berry and the shad-bush. Southward across the 
driveway from these, and overlooking the easterly lake, 
is the collection illustrating the plum family, to which 
belong the plums, cherries, apricots and peaches. As 
many of the species of this family are trees they may be 
found at the arboretum. Among those represented here 
are the western sand cherry, of northwestern North Amer- 
ica; the three-lobed peach, a native of China, in its double- 
flowered form; the dwarf peach, from Europe; and the 
Russian almond, of Russia and western Asia. 
Crossing the driveway to the west, the sequence is again 
taken up on the ground overlooking the west lake, with the 
senna family, represented by the Asiatic Judas-tree, of 
China and Japan, and the American Judas-tree of the 
eastern United States; in spring, before the appearance of 
the leaves, these are profusely covered with pink or pur-
