I. Report on Vegetation during the Month of 

 November 1894. By Robert Lindsay, Curator. 



The past month of November has been exceedingly mild 

 for the season, comparatively little frost occurred. No 

 snow fell, and there was an absence of severe gales. There 

 was a large amount of bright sunshine, and altogether the 

 month was one of the most favourable Novembers on 

 record. A good number of plants are in flower on the 

 rock-garden, but only two varieties came into flower during 

 November, viz. -.—Helleborus albicans and H. purpurascens.
