REVIEW. 



The Parks, Promenades, and Gardens of Paris. By W. Robinson, F.L.S. 



This is a handsomely got up volume of 644 pages, containing 400 illustrations, 

 all bearing upon the subjects of which it treats — showing the various methods of 

 training fruit-trees in vogue in France; the implements used in horticulture and 

 arboriculture; the hothouses, frames, and other appliances used for producing early 

 fruit, flowers, and vegetables ; plans of the principal parks round Paris : with 

 copious illustrations of French landscape-gardening ; lists of the most interesting 

 places to those in search of the best examples of French hoi'ticulture ; and, last, 

 but not least, plans of the Mushroom-caves of Paris, besides a great deal more 

 that time and space debar a reference to at this time. 



The descriptive letterpress is clearly written, and full in all details ; and it will 

 enable any one with moderate horticultural skill to carry out in this country 

 whatever may strike him as being worth copying. 



The volume is worthy a place in every gardener's library.
