exceedingly compact form, very dense in its growth; 

 Thunberg's viburnum, from China and Japan; Siebold's 

 viburnum, from Japan; the Japanese snowball, from 

 China and Japan; the wayfaring tree, from Europe 

 and western Asia; and the woolly viburnum, from China 

 and Japan; among American forms may be men- 

 tioned the veiny 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 occu- 

 pies 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; Albert's 

 honeysuckle, from Turkestan; the Turkestan fly-honey- 

 suckle; 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 

 smooth snowberry, native of northern North America, laden 

 in autumn with its ivory-white fruit, making it most at- 

 tractive; the diervillas are represented by two or three 

 species, including the bush honeysuckle, a native of 

 northeastern North America. The elder-berries (Sambucus) 

 are also represented by two or three species. The hybrid 

 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 lati- 

 tude, but large numbers of the herbaceous species may be 

 found at the herbaceous grounds. As representatives in
