little bunches along the bare branches and, at a little 

 distance away, look very clover-like. Its flowers are 

 succeeded by beautiful light-yellow berries, which, in 

 early fall, change to shining scarlet. You will know 

 it by its leaves, which say "dogwood" to you the 

 moment you see them. Opposite the cornelian cherry 

 is fly honeysuckle. A little further on, at your right, 

 you pa^s fine bushes of the strawberry shrub (diag- 

 onally opposite the lamp on the left), with large leaves, 

 and, in the angle of the next branch of the Walk, 

 as it bears away to the left, is common lilac. Opposite 

 the lilac, across the Walk, is Kcelreuteria, and back of 

 this, oak-leaved hydrangea, whose noticeably oak-like 

 leaves easify identify it. Following the right-hand 

 branch of the fork here, down toward the Arch below, 

 you will find a fine fringe-tree, standing close by an 

 Austrian pine, quite near the Arch on your left. Its 

 leaves are entire (not cut), and are set oppositely on 

 the branch. The shrub, or small tree, blooms in June, 

 with lovely fringe-like masses or white flowers. Dark 

 blue purple berries, covered with a bloom, succeed 

 the flowers. These berries are about half an inch 

 long. 



Then, if you come back and follow the left branch, 

 westward toward the Drive, you pass on your right, 

 about half way to the Drive, hop-tree. You will know 

 it by its leaves, which are compound, and made up of 

 three leaflets. From its wafer or elm-like seeds, 

 broadly winged about the margin, it gets its name 

 Ptelea, derived from the Greek word for elm. Indeed,
