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.
