. The parks and gardens of Paris, considered in relation to the wants of other cities and of the public and private gardens; being notes on a study of Paris gardens. Gardening; Gardens; Parks. Chap. XXIV.] FRUIT CULTURE. 413 trees and well and simply-formed Peach and Plum-trees against the walls certainly often look better than little gardens arranged witk another aim. In spring there is the beauty of fruit-tree blossoms, and in autumn the crown of trees—good fruit. The art of the engraver, even in its best form, can give but a suggestion of such a garden, but probably this will show how desirable it is to make, more than ever, full use of our opportunities of planting fruit-trees in small Fruit-trees in a Front Garden {Vincennes'). The second way in which we may improve the cultivation of the Pear is by planting it to a greater extent as a pyramidal tree, grafting on the Quince where the soil is rich, moist, or deep. On many dry and sandy lands the Pear must be grown on its own stock, and for orcharding purposes generally that may safely be pronounced the best. We shall never have a good supply for market till we pay more attention to the Pear as a freely-developed standard tree; we shall never have a first-rate supply of Winter.
