A FL0WERY EMPIRE.
The WondrOus Garden 0fJapan.

Helen Thompson thus writes in the
Brooklyn Magazines: The Spring and
Summer in Japan is full of picturesque
beauty, and yields an atmosphere of de-
lghtful comfort. The skies drop glad
ness, and the earth teens with loneliness.
Its garden pictures ore changing as a
kaleidoscope. The terraced hill-sides
rank with Yerdure, vie with wheat fields
bending meath their load of grain; some
just cut and supplanted by rice, in fields
Hooded with water, while others, green
with the tender shoots, are ready for
transplanting. When the seasons are
unusually dry nothing is left to suffer-
The reservoirs are so large, and the irri-
eating system so com plete, that Japan's
wondrous garden smiles on beneath scorch
ing rays.
The trees of Japan are wonder Here
is the ''mockungi," with its purple, bell
shaped flowers; also the magnolia, with
It's rich white and purple clusters. Queen
