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. • Tho specialties of Dango-*a)ca gardens lire set pieces of Bowers that dwarf all other floral efforts in that lino.
