shady walks, well kept lawns,
and beautiful trees (elm, birch,
beech, oak etc.) and shrubs
(lilac, laburnum, mock-orange
etc.). The park is a wonderful
sight in May, when the
cherry-apple- and pear-trees are in
blossom (bloom).
The beds are tastefully laid
out with hyacinths, daffodils,
tulips, forget-me-nots, dicentras
(bleeding hearts) lupins,
peonies, pansies, and many other
pretty flowers.
There is an avenue of
lime-trees leading to a little lake
with a fountain, a favourite
place for children, who come
here with their mothers or
nurses to sail their little boats
and play in the sunshine.
But the greatest attraction
is the band, which plays twice
a week in the summer. Then
the park is crowded with
people, and every seat is taken.
Near the park are the
tennis-courts, and a large open
space, where foot-ball (footer)
is played.
