Japan; among American forms may be mentioned the 
arrow-wood, Canby’s 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 
occupies 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; the narrow- 
leaved Albert honeysuckle, from Turkestan; the blue fly- 
honeysuckle, from north temperate regions; 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, sym- 
phoricarpos and the diervillas; the weigelas are illustrated 
by many showy forms, flowering in early summer; the 
showiest Symphoricarpos is the snowberry, native of nor- 
thern North America, laden in autumn with its ivory- 
white fruit, making it most attractive; the diervillas are 
represented by two or three species, including the bush 
honeysuckle, a native of northern North America. The 
elder-berries (Sambucus) are also represented by two or three 
species. The hybrid abelia will also be found here; its frag- 
rant flowers are borne in great profusion during late sum- 
mer 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 
the fruticetum, we have the groundsel-bush or pencil-tree 
(Baccharis), a native of the southeastern United States, 
bearing in the fall a profusion of white fruit, making it a 
most attractive object; and some of the shrubby wormwoods 
(Artemisia) of the Old World.
