The highest reeds* in the south of Europe (* Arundo donax.

Vast spaces of country clear of timber were under water, and covered with the common reed [Note: Arundo phragmites.

This consisted in little more than the planting of the Arundo arenaria, and other sand-plants, and the exclusion of animals destructive to those vegetables.

The great reed of the south, the Arundo donax, is often used, in the country, for rough garden-shelters against the mistral or just for fences.
