Edition originale
First edition of this very substantial study of Paris?s public parks, urban squares and general gardening culture, based on personal research by the English gardener and garden designer William Robinson (1838-1935). One of Robinson?s purposes was to draw lessons from French practice for the benefit of an English readership, most specifically in relation to the management of the London park system and to the provision of further public open spaces in less fashionable parts of the city, and he uses his introduction to express strong reservations about what he views as the waste of resources involved in maintenance and costly improvements to the Royal Parks. He also praises French skills in the growing of fruit and of salads, and of such speciality crops as asparagus and mushrooms. 8vo. xxxii + 644pp, 48 woodcut plates, 347 text ills, 3 folding maps. Publisher?s gilt stamped decorative green cloth.

Edition originale
Hardcover. 8vo. pp. xxxii, 644. 49 wood-engraved plates (incl. frontis.), 3 folding plans, & 378 text illus. (incl. 2 on title). A nice copy in original black, gilt & blind-stamped cloth (extremities slightly frayed, rear joint slightly rubbed). First Edition. Robinson, a landscape gardener and horticultural journalist, was for a time on the staff of the Royal Botanic Garden in Regent's Park, and was elected as a fellow of the Linnean Society in 1866, one of his sponsors being Charles Darwin. The present work is based on observations made during his visit to France in 1867 to report on the horticultural parts of the Exhibition in Paris for the Times and several other periodicals. Robinson saw much to admire and emulate in the monumental replanning of the centre of Paris in the 1850's and 1860's that saw the creation of many new public parks and gardens, squares, and boulevards. He examines the various public parks and gardens including the Bois de Boulogne, the Parc Monceau, the Luxembourg gardens, the public squares of Batignolles, Belleville, Louvois, &c., as well as private gardens and cemeteries, and urges a similar regeneration of London and other English cities. He lists appropriate trees, shrubs, tropical plants, annuals and perennials for public use, and points out the superiority of fruit culture and market gardening in Paris and its environs, and the ways in which the British might improve their own practice and likewise obtain excellent results by the adoption of French methods of budding, grafting, pruning and training, and cultivating of mushrooms, lettuce, asparagus, and other vegetables. There is a chapter dealing with garden implements, machinery, and furniture, and one describing a horticultural tour through parts of France: Lyons, Dijon, Nantes, Rouen, Troyes, &c.
