berry-tree, an exceedingly compact form, very dense in its 

 growth; the Chinese viburnum, from China and Japan; 

 Siebold's viburnum, from Japan; the Japanese snowball, 

 from China and Japan; the wayfaring tree, from Europe 

 and Asia ; and the woolly viburnum, from China and Japan ; 

 among American forms may be mentioned the arrow-wood, 

 the coast 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 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, may 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 may be found at 

 the herbaceous grounds. As representatives in the frutice-
