This tree is lordly ! Stand off and let your eyes rove 

 in delight over its lustrous green. In the corner of 

 the next offshoot of path is osage orange, with a fine 

 mass of weeping Forsythia beyond it, and a hackberry 

 opposite the Forsythia. The hackberry can easily be 

 known by its warty bark and "bird's nest" clusters of 

 branches. Opposite the osage orange, on your left, 

 is sycamore maple with its cordate five-lobed thickish 

 leaves on long reddish leaf-stems. Out upon the 

 Green, just north of this tree, is Norway maple. 



Continuing eastwards along the southerly side of 

 the Green, you pass, on your right, white pine, cock- 

 spur thorn, and then a goodly gathering of more white 

 pines. Some little distance along, is Scotch elm, and 

 close by the brink of Transverse Road No. i, about 

 southwest of the Scotch elm, you will see bladder 

 senna. It has compound leaves (seven to eleven leaf- 

 lets), and belongs to the pulse family. In summer 

 (July) it flowers in golden racemes. These yellow 

 pea flowers are succeeded by bladder-like pods which 

 puff out very conspicuously all over the bush in a 

 way that at once stirs your curiosity. 



Back on the Walk again, and continuing easterly, 

 you pass Scotch elm, on your right, and then, on your 

 left, out on the Green, sycamore maple, American elm, 

 sycamore maple, sugar maple, sycamore maple. Just 

 beyond is an old catalpa, and close about the rcoks 

 here several American hornbeams. A fine white ash 

 has set its firm foot on the next rock mass, and faces 

 a pin oak, to the south, with a couple of lordly tulip 

 trees beside the pin oak.
