"Schild Krote is the German name for turtle.

I presume the name pleased my childish fancy." "Suppose we visit my great-great-grandfather's grave in the near-by woods.

I think I can locate it, although so many years have passed since I last visited it." Passing through fields overgrown with high grass, wild flowers and clover, they came to the woods.

Surprising to say, scarcely any underbrush was seen, but trees everywhere--stately Lebanon cedars, spruce and spreading hemlock, pin oaks, juniper trees which later would be covered with spicy, aromatic berries; also beech trees.

Witch hazel and hazel nut bushes grew in profusion.
