  Phellodendron 
  sachalinense 
  Sargent. 
  

  

  "Of 
  the 
  three 
  species 
  of 
  this 
  genus 
  established 
  in 
  the 
  Arboretum, 
  Phelloden- 
  

   dron 
  sachalinense 
  is 
  the 
  handsomest. 
  All 
  the 
  species 
  are 
  natives 
  of 
  eastern 
  Asia 
  

   and 
  are 
  small 
  trees 
  with 
  pinnate 
  leaves, 
  small 
  clusters 
  of 
  inconspicuous 
  yellow 
  

   flowers, 
  the 
  male 
  and 
  female 
  flowers 
  being 
  produced 
  on 
  different 
  individuals, 
  

   and 
  black 
  berrylike 
  fruits. 
  They 
  have 
  bright 
  yellow 
  wood 
  and 
  roots, 
  and 
  all 
  

   parts 
  of 
  these 
  trees 
  are 
  permeated 
  with 
  a 
  fragrant 
  aromatic 
  oil, 
  which 
  apparently 
  

   makes 
  them 
  immune 
  from 
  the 
  attacks 
  of 
  insects. 
  P. 
  sachalinense, 
  which 
  is 
  a 
  

   native 
  of 
  Sakhalin 
  and 
  the 
  northern 
  island 
  of 
  Japan, 
  has 
  grown 
  in 
  the 
  Arbo- 
  

   retum 
  into 
  a 
  tree 
  about 
  30 
  feet 
  high, 
  with 
  a 
  tall, 
  straight 
  trunk 
  and 
  wide-spread- 
  

   ing 
  branches, 
  forming 
  a 
  shapely, 
  flat-topped 
  head. 
  The 
  seedlings 
  springing 
  up 
  

   naturally 
  near 
  the 
  old 
  trees 
  indicate 
  that 
  it 
  is 
  likely 
  to 
  hold 
  its 
  own 
  in 
  New 
  

   England. 
  The 
  hardiness 
  of 
  this 
  tree, 
  its 
  rapid 
  growth, 
  and 
  the 
  fact 
  that 
  it 
  is 
  not 
  

   injured 
  by 
  insects 
  suggest 
  that 
  this 
  is 
  a 
  good 
  subject 
  to 
  plant 
  in 
  narrow 
  streets."
