We're healthy, desirable and otherwise
Admirable immigrants.
No time was lost in setting them out,
the wife of the President, Mrs. Taft,
planting the first tree, and Wis.
countess Chinda the second, early in
April. From the first it was apparent
that the transportation was destined
to success. and except for negligible
number of trees lost in second trans
plantation, made necessary by recon-
struction of one of the drives, Vir-
tually all are alive and healthy today
and evidently for many years will con-
tribute no small sum of happiness to
Washingtonians and their Eastertide
guests.
News that the second consignment
of trees had been successfully placed
in the adopted soil was of enough mo.
ment to go to Japan by diplomatic
cable, and Immediately there flashed
to these shores formal expression of
qualification.
"It will remain to the citizens of
Toxic" the message said, "a pleasing
memory as well as civic pride that
their small offering will be permitted
to contribute to the advancement of
the beautiful Capital of the great re-
public which they all admire"
The message was signed by Yokio
Ozaki, mayor of Toxic.
The cherry trees of Washington are
of the Towering variety almost exclu-
sively and few of them ever bear fruit.
A dozen varying species, some having
single blossoms and some double, but
all with picturesque Nipponese desig-
nations, are included. Typical names of
the varieties are Somei- Yoshino, Mi.

II Moi are back again. It is
cherry blossom time along
the Potomac, and the good
citizens of the National Capt.
tai are at the height of an annual
period of ecstasy. Cherry blossoms
are on every tongue, the glory OF the
spectacle is confided to every ear, and
all eyes feast on cherry-blossom
beauty.

dore Takahira Of Japan, casually
mentioned that among the projects
for the Identification OF the National
Capital was the setting out of a large
number of cherry trees. The chance
remark was not lost upon the envoy,
nor was he slow to action on the
golden opportunity presented, for, on
July IL, the Secretary received from
the embassy of Japan a note to the
effect that, prompted by desire to
its sister Capital city," the City of
Toxic desired to present the Capital
of the United States with 1000 cherry
trees raised in Japan. Through the
usual formal diplomatic channels the
offer Nas gratefully accepted, and
during the ensuing Winter the young
trees made the long journey from
their native land to the banks of the
Potomac.
But insidious and almost unseen
enemies were conSpiring the death of
the friendly visitors. In accordance
with the law, the trees underwent eX-
animation by experts Of the Depart
ment of Agriculture Immediately
after their arrival, and, regretfully,
they determined and reported that
the trees had become infected with
root gall worm, certain fungus dis
eases and an insect pest unmistakable
but unknown to the scientists of this
country. Accordingly, the entire con-
signment was burned to prevent the
mysterious and sinister enemy OF
plant life gaining a foothold in this
country.
The sorrow of Washington and
Toxic over their fate was mutual and
the prospect seemed hopeless. But in
the Winter of 1911-12 Toxic decided
to make another attempt, with the
result that in March, 1912, there
