On Temperature and Vegetation in the Botanic 

 Garden, Glasgow, during June 1892. By Egbert 

 BuLLEN, Curator of the Garden. 



No frost was registered here during the month, but the 

 temperature was frequently very low and much below the 

 average for June. Much wet weather was also experienced. 

 The days recorded as fine only number one week, and of 

 these only two (7th and 8th) were real summer days ; the 

 sun tliermometer then registered 93° and 95° respectively. 



As a result of the low mean temperature, nearly every- 

 thing in the way of vegetation is backward, most hardy 

 herbaceous plants were fully a fortnight behind their usual 

 blooming season ; and unless much warmer weather prevails 

 shortly nearly all annuals, even the hardy sorts, must be a 

 failure. 



On the other hand, all hardy trees and shrubs, although 

 late, have made vigorous growtli.
