THE PAEKS AND GARDENS OP PARIS. [Chap. XL 



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

 serves its purpose admirably. The American plants are mostly 

 grown in the slight shade afforded by thin hedges of Arbor vitse. 

 The Ivy used for making the edgings, which are so much admired 

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

 which the plant is employed, is grown here.
