SO attractive as that at Longchamps, but it is well stocked, and 

 serves its purpose admirably. The American plants are mostly- 

 grown in the slight shade aftbrded by thin hedges of Arbor vitae.

 in the public gardens of Paris, and for every other purpose for 

 which the plant is employed, is grown here.
