Superstitions of Chinese Gardens 



Tree worship is 

 common in the 

 East. The photo- 

 graph at left shows 

 the sacred Bow 

 Tree of Ceylon. It 

 is found in the gar- 

 dens of the temples 

 all through China. 

 The little flags hung 

 on strings around 

 t±ie enclosure were 

 placed there by pil- 

 grims and doubtless 

 represent prayers

 dressed in growing 

 shrubbery as deco- 

 rations in a garden 

 of one of the gam- 

 bling kings of 

 Macao, China. The 

 evergreens are 

 planted in the flow- 

 er-pot bases and 

 are trimmed into 

 form every few 

 days. The mani- 

 kins are life-size
