Have you ever heard OF the won.
derful dwarf trees In Japan? II is
said that several specimens are to be
seen In the Roman garden owned by
a North Philadelphia family.
These dwarf trees are perfect in
every respect, with gnarled trunks
and twisted branches--but are only a
foot OF two in height.
In Japan dwarf parks are laid out
filed with these tiny trees. and little
bits OF streams Of water and bridges
and walks. are put in here and there.
Instead of grass a cunning tiny
green moss is used. And in the tiny

most wonderful little Alpine flowers
are TO be found.

streams. bridges and all. would stand

No other people In the world know
how to dwarf trees. It is a secret
carefully preserved by the japanese.
