Ths Process by Which They Az prs-

The Process by Which They Are Pro-
daesd In Japan.
On the outskirts of Tokyo, Japan,
there is a little colony of native
artists who make a speciality Of
growing dwarf trees-oaks, naples,
beeches, apple trees and many eth
ers, perfect in every detail and pro-
portion, but no bigger than shrubs,
grown in jardinieres and used Is
ornaments for dining tables. OF
the process a writer says: Exactly
how these tiny trees are produced
is known only to a score OF 30 of in
diyiduals. But the quality essen
tial to the successful dwarf tree
grower is patience, infinite Pc
thence, backed by a fund Of calm
resignation unknown to the west
ern mind. Fifty years is named az
the shortest period in which a real
ly good and salable dwarf tree may
be grown, while lifetime is not
long enough to produce the highest
examples of the art. Dwarf trees
are produced from seed or, in cases
where this is not practicable, from
carefully selected cuttings. When
the young plant begins to grow it
is tended with eseseless care, and
from the COMMENCEMENT of its ca
reer its natural tendencies are sub
jugated to the will of its master.
Each twig, each leaf, as it makes its
appearance becomes the object of
the closest scrutiny. Shall it be
permitted to grow and, if so, in what
direction? May it not be advisable
to cut it away altogether and en-
courage growth elsewhere?
"These and dozen similar ques-
tons occupy the mind of the Jap
anese artist, and upon their correct
solution depends the ultimate value
of the tree, for to be perfect the
dwarf must possess shape and bal
ance equal to the best life sized
models. The artist has at his dis
posal several centuries of transmit
ted experience. To this he adds the
quality that Carlyle mistook for
genius-an infinite capacity for tax
ing pains. He cuts and prunes his
subject, often mercilessly, but al
ways with infinite care and fore
thought. At times, with cord or
wire, he draws Maynard twig into
its ordained position. Then after
two or three years, when the trend
of the branch is fully established,
the bonds are cut away again.
"From time to time, too, the tree
Is carefully repotted, and on such
its roots are subjected to
a careful examination. In their turn
they receive as much attention as
do the branches. Unnecessary
masses Of fiber are cut away, leading
rootletS are freed and encouraged,
and the whole is then carefully rear
ranged in a fresh soil. Everything
is done, in fact, to concentrate the
life of the tree within the narrowest
possible limits. And at last, after
years of unremitting labor, the tree
begins to respond to the touch of its
master. 1t loses its tendency to
shoot forth lusty and far reaching
twigs. It's leaves become tiny and
proportioned to its dwarfed
branches. 1t surrenders in the
Sight for liberty."-Chicago News.
