THE PEACH GARDENS OF MONTREUIL. 457 supposition, the outer ends of the shoots are several inches higher than where they spring from the ascending axis. Many cordons are to be seen in abundant bearing in the garden, both against the walls and in the open. The Calvilles against the walls were very good, and were not always confined to a single line, but were superimposed.
