portional arrangement of the branches, giving a conical shape to 
the tree. This tree is always planted in the centre or important 
position of the gardens. 
MIKOSHI" is a shape of tree having generally no branches at the

the top branches show ; the literal meaning of " Mikoshi " being " to 
look over." 
KENQAI."— A shape to represent a tree overhanging a cliff.

branches overhanging the water.

bracing all the features of a native scone in detail that one can see

tree trainer has taken as a model and trained in miniature to show 
every detail, even to the number of branches and shape of trunk, 
etc. , that the large tree possesses, literally moaning a tree on a tray. 
YOSEUYE." — This is a term used to designate two or a group of 
trees that have boen planted together in such position that one tree 
does not obstruct the view of one of the others no matter from 
which direction, all or one of the trees may be looked at. Each tree 
in the group is supposed to be of equal value. 
SOYEUYE " really means supplementary and as applied to plant life 
means a plant or tree added or supplied to a group or single tree to 
lend on artistic effect. To illustrate, as is ofttimos the case, trees 
grow with the branches very much larger and heavier leaved on 
one side than on the other. Such a tree would present a very in- 
artistic effect if placed in the centre or of a plot alone. Here is 
where some accessory or supplementary effect is needed to depict a 
scene that is pleasing to the eye, and in such a case the landscape 
gardener adds some smaller tree or plant to grow under the side of 
the tree having the long branches and thick foliage. 
MORIUYE." — A term applied to a group of trees of one variety 
trained to represent a forest scene. Here no studied effect is shown, 
plants are indiscriminately placed and in such position as one might 
expect to see in traveling through a pine belt in this country. 
YABUUYE."— Signifying a wooded scone where various kinds ot trees 
are found growing arranged in a manner similar to that the trees
