. 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. XXI.] THE PEACH GAEDBNS OF MONTEEUIL. 363 a siagle season the desired strength was ohtained, and the shoot went vigorously to the top of the wall. Not only are the pruner's best precautions taken to secure abundance of vigour and sap in the lower parts of the specimen, but slow-growing and not very vigorous kinds are grafted a little above the middle of the tree, so as to prevent in the completest manner the tendency which the sap has to rush towards the higher points. To show the differ- ence between cultivators, it is sufficient to mention that M. Lepere considers this precaution indispensable; while another distin- guished cultivator in the same neighbourhood does not practise it at all, but pinches the upper shoots and deprives them of leaves when too vigorous, and thus preserves the most perfect.
