N T o one goes to Dango-zaka except Id
the chrysanthemum season, ami the little
community tend, prune, dwarf and culti
vate their plants jn peace until the chrys
anthemums beginto flower. Then Dango
gaka becomes a gay fair. Banners, flags,
pennants, lanterns and gorgeous potters
fill the sides of the steep, narrow street,
holiday crowds trudge up and down, and
before every garden entrance an eloquent
■proprietor sits, Turk fashion, on a tab's
covered with a red blanket., and holding
his hands over a bibocht, or brazier of
charcoal, and stags tho little merits of his
chrysanthemums. Tho gardens
themselves are models of landscape art
and arrangement, all so many poems in
rocks, trees, vine* and flowers. Jiwsr'
pines, dwarf maples, dwarfed everything,
mo ranged in prosaic rows or benches, but
tthc pet chrysanthemum bushes are now
housed ip temporary huts or sheds of
I bamboo mats, in order that not u petal
ctnay uncurl or drop, and that they may bo
kept at tlmir perfect stage ah long os possi
ble. Bushes ua tall as those in the crj
peror’s garden, covered with as superb and
finely tinted blossoms, are there, but not
fn such regiments as in the imperial
grounds, These florists, too, have their
bushes hearing 100 and -00 separate and
full blown flowers, and bushes where
pkillfpl grafting has made the great top
tit variegated blossoms look like one well
arranged bouquet of long stemmed flow
ers.

that has been on view for a

longer, makes ono smile to remember tho

mountain range and spreading into a
stream, where a huge green dragon with
fed eyes and foaming month is coiling and

tho stream, and a chrysanthemum woman
leads a chrysanthemum horse, ridden by
