THE JAPANESE FOREST. professor BAltOENTl new book. THE FORKST FI.ORA OF .IAPAN. By fharlaa Sprague Sargent. Plrector of the Arnold arao retum. of Harvard rnlveraity. Boaton and New Vork: HO-ghtOB, Mlfflin & Co. 1*94. Th* flora ot Japan haa an enpeelal lntereat for Amerl<-ans, alnoe we hav been told ao nften Of the cloae analng>- between the vagetation of theae islands and that of the northeastern part of the l'nlted Statea. lt wai thiB Blmllarlty whlch suggested to Dr. Oray the explanatlon of the w?y in which planta were dlatrtbuted through th* north.rn hemlsphere In dlrect des<-ent from anceators whlch lnhabited the Aretlc regiona during the last tertlary period. Profeeaor Sar? gent tella us. however. that the oplnlon whlch haa prevailed that an Amerlcan flnda much that ia homellke in the natural foreet growth of the.ae Islands ls an erroneoua one. It la true that the traillng arbutus would remlnd one of MeW? England and Shortla would reoall the mountalns of North Carollna If theae planta were not so rare In Japan. Neverthelese. there are enough specles so closely related ln the two- countrles aa to snb atantiate the general Impression that the plartts which thrive in one will dourlsh ln the other. The popular reaaon asslgned for this ia that both countrles fac* an oc*an lylng to the eaat. wlth coast llnes and deep sea ouirents of slmilar trend and prevaillng wlnds from the name dlrectlon. bo that the condltiona of rlimate whlch have dlrect Influence on the llfe and health of plants are almilar. The Japaneae marles. lindens and dr-g woods, birches and .-hestnuts. aldera and poplars, magnollas and buekeyes, plnes and hemlooks and larchcs. although they dlffer from our own speeies. have been developed under condltiona so slmilar that they will generally thrive here. In fact, lt is well known that the trees, shrubs and plants of Eastern Asla are much more cer taln to make themselves at home when trans planted here than are our nearer neighbors on tbe Paclflc CoaBt; whlle the trees of Oallfornla will take more kindly to the cllmate of Weatern F.urope than to our own beoause these two re gions stand geographloally in the name relatlon to the great seas and the current* of water and of wlnd. But what gives a greater popular lntereat to the flora of Japan is that so many flowerinK Hhrubs and herbs ln our gardens are known as Japanese. although many of them really orlgin ated in Chtna, Corea or some other part of East ern Asia, and only reached this country by way of Japan. One of the commonest flowering plants in our herbaceous borders In early spring is the ghowy dUentra or dielytra. as lt is pupuiarly called. and this is followed by stately Japanese lilles and irises, wlth the tall and graee ful lespedeza ln the autumn and the Jap? anese anemone, one of the lovellest of garden flowers. In our shrubberlea the early flowering bush honeysuckles. half a dozen splraeas. corylopsis. andromedas. barbor rles, viburnums, hydrangeas and flowering plums and appies. besides the beautiful rosa multiflora wlth actlnidias. matrimonv vine, euonymus, wisteria and many other climbing plants, are natlvea of the dlstant East. Slnce we already have so many Japanese plants at home lt ls no wonder that every one who has heard of this similarity in the botany of the two countrles has readlly believed the travellers who have in sisted that there is a striklng resemblanoe be? tween the general features of the vegetation there and here. But Professor Sargent points oul many dlfTerences ln the einstitution Ol the natural woods whlch are atlll standing in Japan and our own vlrgln foreats; while the forest un dergnwth ls altogether unlike ln the two coun? trles. Amerieans at oneo wlll mlss the huekl* berrles and hlueberrteo. the kalmtas and cornelB and dwarf eherries and lycopodlums which car p*t our woodlands wlth such beauty, and he will ftnd instead among the tra s a close and almost impenetrable thioket of dwarf bambooa. Only a few vigorous undershrubs ean maintain them se:ve* agalnst these aggresslve grarses and the woods therefore have a strange forelgn look. All theae points of !:kene<.s and disslmllarlty are aet forth it. a very lnstruc.ive way and make a fitting prelude to the desr-rtptions of the vatiou* families of trees whlch are then takon up in their bdanical order. It sh<-.uld be said here that this book ls pre oisely what its title indicates. The author doea not seem to have been infected with the Japanese ar: dlsease whlch absolutoly un hts most visltors to that Empire f..r any contemplation of nature. and If he con siders a burried Journey through theae i?lands an adeejuate preparation for a treatiae on the m.iral characteriatlcs of the natives or nf the I art which the empire is destlnsd to play in the coming history of the world, he has ex ercised uncommon Belf-restralnt and post I r.nod these for some future work. The book is concerned solely with the trees and shrubs of the Japa.iese forest; it was orig inally prepared for "Garden and Forest." a Jour nal devoted tO kindred sublects. and the reprlnt includes the ful!-page illustratlons which ap peared with the origlnal lotters. The subjeet Is by no means haokneyed, although rnany of the famous botanists of the world have oolleeted in these islands, for It ls only wlrhin a few years that travellers have been able to do more than vlslt the cirles and gardons of the country wlth? out explorlng any of Its wilder interior reglons. Besides no traveller In these Islands has eVer been bo well prepared in the botany of trees and shruba as ProfeBaor Sargent, who has devoted hlmaelf for yeara to study ln thlB Bpeclal neld in the preparptlon of ht~ work on the "Sllva ot North America" and in collectlng materlal for the Arnold Arnoretum. whlch ls to lnclude every woody plant that wlll grow In the cllmate of Eastern North America. It Ib this abundant and famillar knowledge of his subjeet and of the en tire range of related subjects that broadens out the interest of Profeaaor Sargent's book bo that it takes hold of the attentlon of any reader who carea In the leaat for any arborescent growth whether in forest or in park. whether cultlvated ln prlvate grounds or growing at wlll by the way.*ide. No popular account of many of the trees h*re flgured and deserlbed has ever before been published. Many othera. whlch have heretc.fore been known as herbarium specimens only. have been ldentlfled in the fleld ind flgured, and what is of more lmmedlate importance the seeds of many trees and shrubs entlrely new or new to cultlvatlon have been brought home and planted in the arboretum or dlstrlbuted among the bo tanlc gardens and leadlng nurserles of Bnrope and America. Only actual trlal on our soll wlll demonstrate how many of these plants wlll be found adapted to use in our groves and gardens, but the ample not*B as t> thelr habits and thelr home aurroundlngn contalned In thla volume wlll be of great analstance in determlning when or how they ean be used to the be?t advantage. After readtnaf the deaorlptlon of niagrmlla hypo leuca, whlch ia the moet beautlful of the decid uous. leaved magnollas ln Japan. one ia tempted to remlnd the New-York reader that the flrst tree of this klnd ever brought to America was aent by thgt lndefatlgable collector, Thomaa Hogg, and waa planted at the foot of Elghty fourth-8t.. on the Eaat Rlver. ln thla clty, where lt stlll Btanda. or at leaat dld atand a faw montha ago. although It was ltable wlth many other treaeures from Japan to be covered up as the land about lt ls fllied ln. We may add that there ls a wlllow-leaved magnolla. a beautlful p'.ant. whlch haa never been lntroduced. but of whloh Professor Sargent obtatned a supply of seed and tindoubtedly thla wlll soon be found In Amerlcan gardens. Of evergreen magnollaa, Ilke the blg laurel cr bay of our Southern Statea, Japan posBesaee none. but ther* are closely related apecles of mlchelia which take their place and whlch ought to flourlan aouth of Washlngton. Among the other Interesting trees of this famlly the moat Iroportant one Is cercldiphyllum. <>ne of the great tlmber treee of the country. It has alrrady beco'me aomewhat famillar ln.Amerlcan parks and gardens. and as It rtows rapidly lt Ib llkel.v to become of oonslderahle importanee in ornamental plantatlons. As we have seen it here It seems to have a somewhat forrnal hablt "f growth, but the illustratlons of matur* trees in this book ahow that they ean be hlghly pletur oscjue.

Un fortunately there is Uttle aaaurance that any on* of them wlll prove hardy north of Waah ington, for although many of tbe broad-leaved evergreen Shrubs of Japan grow ln a latitmle farthet north than that of Massaehusotts, they rest in winter under a rover of BBOW, and are therefore not expowd to such altertiati'.ns of freezlng and thawlng. nor do th'-y enffer bo much from the dr .u'.hs of BUmtner and BO tumn as they would do here. There are other hol? lles wlth deciduous leavea related to our c.mtnon ecarlet-berrled black ald.r. whlch Wlll no doobt thrive ln the Northern l'nlted States and belp to Increase the beauty of OUl snrubberies In wlnter.

This Is rare in this country yet. but is one of the commoneal plants in Japan. an.l its long, alender branchra, coVered with briniantiy cotored frult, are aald In autumn throughout all the Japaaeae cltlea for the dec.ration of dwelluag-boueaa Certain Japan maple*. mostly with deeply CUt or strangely colore.i leavea, have been known in this country fir more than twenty-livo yoars. They nre K-nerally forms of Acer palmatuni. a smoll round-headed tree whioh OOlorB as brlght ly very late in autumn as oajroWB BCBTkH maple, ?a aii frequentera of irVoBpect Park ean near witness. for near the lake there are two of the flnest specimens of these trees now ln cultivat; m, and thelr foliago is all allame when most. of our native troes have dropped their loaves. Tne lover of beautlful troe* will find much to dellgbt him ln this chapter on the nupb-s. and he wlll be particularly pleas.d to learn that some Bpedea as yet unknown here wlll probably be v.-ry naeful for ornamental plantlng. By a happy ehance Professor Sargent gathered abundant seed of one Of these, Acer myabei, an elegant tree . los-.-ly related to the sveamore maple of Europe. and hy another stroke of good fortune he sucoooded ln gatheri"g seerls of Acer nikkoense. wMch be longs to the ash-leaved section of maplea. and is remarkable for the hrilllan.y of its autumn foli age. enme of the Japanese sumarhs are already known in our gardens. but none of them are more beautlful than our own. Our ollmbing p leou sumach or. as it is generally called, the DOlaon lvy or mercury. is alao eommmi in Japan. ahere it"festoons the tops of the tallest treea, and in autumn lt is probably the bandeomeel vlne in tho islands. The leaves grow thicker in that eoun try than th*v do on the American f.rm; they are larger too. more le.Uhery. and klndle into even more glowlng colors. often to a ehade of lnten? erimson whlch we never detael ln them here OJ the lagwnlnooa trees there i* a boney locuet wBich cloaefy reeemblea our naUve apeciee, although i ?s more beautlful to lo-k at and rather larger, and It wlll BO BOBbl beome a valuabl- addltlon t? the exotlo trees for park plantlng. ln tho great rose famlly tho Japaneae plum. r rather apricot Prtinua lluine, ls tho moal popular ?
