    Japanese gardens have come lately to win the wide recognition of its real value in the United States and European countries. This can be said a remarkable progress in its appraisal, when we look back the fact that the Japanese things have been regarded by for eigners no more than the exotic charms. However, pursuing the fact actually, I found that the people in European countries and Japan also are satisfied with the understanding that the things Japanese are equal to what they call Asiatic. Is this really a true estimation?
    Very recently, I have had a chance to visit southeast Asian conotries; Thailand, Burma, Cambodia, Vietnam, etc. In these countries of the south-east Asia, holding the important part of Asia, I could find no garden which is traditionally inherited from the national civilization. While in architectural field there are many examples built in their own national style, the gardens seen there are only those of perfect European style which the western people initiated in old days, or otherwise, there were no gardens at all belonging to buildings. I could not see even the gardens of semi-foreign style.
    In Japan, there exist deep relations between buddhist civilization and gardens. We may see many distinguished gardens maintained in the buddhist temples anywhere in Japan, but in south-east Asian countries, the temples seem quite unconcerned about the gardens.
    Considering this fact, what they think Asiatic of the Japanese gardens should not be understood in such a broad sense, I believe. We should renew our recognition that the Japanese gardens have had really special characters as limited in north-east Asia, which were introduced with the ancient Chinese civilization and thoughts and influenced by them.

    The experiment were carried out on the cuttings of the following plants:
    Prunus yedoensis MATSUMURA.
    Acer palmatum THUNB.
    var. Matsumurae MAKINO.
    Osmanthus fragrans LOUR.
    var. aurantracus MAKINO.
    by means of mist propagation.
    The author resulted as follows.
    1) The effect of rooting hormone (Rootone) were depended upon the kind of plants.
    In Osmanthus and Acer attained highe rpercentage of rooting on each lot-viz., control, day treatment and whole day treatment, of experimental sections.
    However, in Prunus were obtained not remarkable different percentage from the other sections.
    2) Could not obtained the remarkable difference among the kind of rooting media.
    Since the favourable results obtained both in rooting medium of loam and Kanumatsuchi on Prunus, the rooting media should be of enough draingage and so the cuttings remains erect while in constant mist.
    3) The result obtained from Prunus and Acer, mist spraying looks enough be keeping the plant constantly moist only on day but not necessary on night.
    However, as for Osmanthus, the highest percentage of rooting were obtained in whole day mist treatment.
    According to the results obtained, it seems differs between the deciduous and ever-green trees.
    4) From the result obtained from 3), probably the plant that apt to rot while on cutting should not spraying on night and with cutting bed and the kind of cutting media of enough drainage, moreover on cutting that not easily rot looks prefer with whole day mist spraying.
    Notwithstanding, the author will not determine these problem this time as the above results were obtained from just a few kind of plants.

    This is the report of investigation of trees damaged by the Second Muroto Typhoon in Osaka and Sakai City.
    1) Native species were damaged lightly with a few exceptions in parks and the precincts of the shrine and temple.
    2) Especially, Celtis japonica, Aphananthe aspera and Taxodium distichum were not damaged at all.
    3) Following six species, Ginkgo biloba, Ilex rotunda, Quercus glauca, Zelkova serrata, Acer buergesiamum and Firmiana platanifolia were damaged less ten per cent.
    4) On the other hand, ten species, Liriodendron tulipifera, Populus sp., Cedrus deodra, Salix sp., Populus carolinensis, Robinia pseudo-acacia, Juniperus chinensis, Cinnamomum camphora, Pinus caribaea and Abies firma, were damaged above fifty per cent.
    5) It is possible, however, to reduce their damage with propping up, as in Sanadayama Park.
    6) The rate of damage of street trees was about fourteen per cent in Osaka City.
    7) Species damaged heavily were Pterocarya stenoptera-33% Platanus sp.-18%, Populus carolinensis-18%, Salix deodra-17%, and one lightly was Firmiana platanifolia-9%.
    8) Summer pruning for Populus carolinensis is effective to reduce their damage. And the damage of the ones pruned is as low as non-fifth compared with one-pruned.
