. The parks, promenades, & gardens of Paris, described and considered in relation to the wants of our own cities, and the public and private gardens. Gardens; Parks. THE PEACH GARDENS OF MONTRETJIL. 449 branches here and there that are not wanted for next year's work ; and, in short, does and explains everything before his pupils.
