A green walk between trees would be a pleasing change from gravel and asphalt in a less-frequented part of some park, but it would doubtless have to be closed in sections, or there would soon be no turf left; but such an experiment might well be tried. The attempts in Brockwell, Golder's Hill, and Ravenscourt at "old English gardens" are most successful, and a welcome change in the monotony, and one has only to look at the crowded seats to see how much they are appreciated.
