the path from the viburnums, and here will be found, among 
others, the fragrant honeysuckle, from China, one of the 
first to send forth its blossoms 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, will 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 snowberry, 
native of northern 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 Chinese 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 latitude, 
but large numbers of the herbaceous species will be found at 
the herbaceous grounds. As representatives in the frutice- 
tum, 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 ob- 
jects; and some of the shrubby wormwoods (Artemzsza), of 
the Old World. 
Salicetum.— The area occupied by this plantation is be- 
tween the main driveway and the Bronx River, north of the 
fruticetum, and comprises several acres. Here are brought 
together moisture-loving willows (Sa/éx) and poplars (Popu-
