The Square de Montrouge. — Although our island is in good 

 repute for its natural verdure, I feel pretty sure that there are 

 few Britons who would not he persuaded of the necessity of 

 more efficient watering in our public gardens if they had seen 

 this square during the last days of the month of August of the 

 past year. To say it was green would be to give the faintest 

 idea of the glistening, deep, and refreshing verdure displayed 

 by everything in it, from the trees to the grass. It is a 

 very small place, not so big as Leicester-square, but quite a 

 gem in its way. It is simply laid out with belts of low 

 trees and shrubs; the centre of the little lawn left un- 

 adorned, while all around its edges really distinct and good 

 things are dotted about. The Acanthuses were very fine here
