I. PlEpoet ON Tempeeatuee and Vegetation during 



June IS 9-4. By Eobket Lind.say, Curator. 



The past month has been rather cold and wet for June. 

 There was an absence of any really warm weather, still no 

 frost occurred, and as re^rards vegetation the month was a 

 moderately good one. The lowest night reading of the 

 thermometer was 34^ which was registered on the ]st 

 of the month, and the highest 52°, on the 27th. The 

 lowest day temperature was 55°, on the 4th, and the 

 highest 83°, on the 26th. The foliage of forest and 

 ornamental deciduous trees is now complete. Variegated 

 varieties of Biota, Cupressus, and 2'axus have developed 

 bright, well-coloured foliage. Late rhododendrons and haw- 

 thorn were full of flower during June. Hardy herbaceous 

 plants generally have grown well, and flowered abundantly. 



On the rock-garden 288 species and varieties came into 

 flower during the month. Amongst the most interesting 

 were the following : — Anthylli^ montana ruhra, Achillea 

 mongolica, A. Icucophylla, Anthcmis mcLcedonica, Aivdrosace
