on a hill in the outskirts of Tokio. There may be seen the 

 house built on a rock which is here reproduced and around 

 which are growing a group of four cryptomeria trees, 

 and a species of willow. A very pleasing landscape study.

 together. Obtained from the private collection of Mr. 

 Kitani, of Tokio. Age, 53 years. Height, a'^ feet. Pot,

•SoA Enkyanthus Japonicus 



This is, perhaps, the finest specimen in this whole collec- 

 tion. It was given years of training by Shichirohei, of 

 Tokio, a master among tree trainers. Unlike most speci- 

 mens, which are reproductions of some plant existing, 

 this iilant was trained to represent in every detail a paint- 

 ing by the most famous Japanese artist that ever lived, 

 Korin. It was obtained from the private collection of Count 

 Okuma, of Tokio, who valued it very highly, but yielded to 

 the solicitation of Mr. Kushibiki and allowed it to come to 

 this country. In the spring it produces white bell-shaped 

 small flowers with a fragrant odor, and in late autumn its 

 leaves turn red and are very beautiful. Age, over 100 years. 

 Height, 2 feet. Pot, Chinese green ware. (See illustration.) 



.3fiA Goyo-Matsu 



Grafted on another variety of i)ine trained for cabinet 

 ornamentation. Age, 75 years. Height, 8 inches. Pot, 

 blue and white.
