THE NATIONAL NURSERY^rAN 
34;] 
The Japanese Mission while on tlieir visit to Philadel- 
])hia paid a visit to the Japaitese (lardens on tlie estate 
ol the late John T. Morris, rdiestnut Hill. 
It must have })een almost like a visit home for there; 
are sections of the ^I'ounds laid out in the most a{)prov(Ml 
Japanese style, minature mountains, lakes, water falls, 
el its, in fact a section of Jajeanese scenery reproduced in 
minature hy Jaj)anese landscape gardeners. Reproduc¬ 
tion or immitation in minature seems to be the theme of 
Japanese landscape gardening, at which they excel. 
They seem to have a wonderful sense of pro])ortion and 
where the American’s aim is to make a plant grow" quick, 
their object is to dwarf and make it grow slow. The 
writer saw the Jaj)anese gardener working on a ])ine 
tree not over six feet high for more than a week, tying 
in and training every twig, just for the purpose of creat¬ 
ing an artificial jierspective. A safe estimate would he 
that he added 100 years to the appearance of the tree. 
It is truly a fascinating study hut the practice of which 
hardly fits the American temperament. 
Mr. Morris was a great traveler and much interested 
in Japanese plants and gardens. It is safe to say the 
gardens he founded have perhaps next to the Arnold Ar¬ 
boretum the finest collection of outdoor jilants in America.
