flower, heath, mezerion, anemone, stock, pansey, polyanthus, 
primrose, auricula, primula gentianella, dog tooth, violet, christ- 
mas rose, pimpernel, carnation. The month of February has 
this year been remarkable for its mildness. We have had no 
frost beyond occasional hoar frosts in the morning, and although 
there have been some violent gales of wind, and one or two 
heavy falls of rain; upon the whole, all the operations of husban- 
dry and gardening have been carried on without interruption, 
and in the most favourable manner. At the same time, the 
frosty mornings have given a salutary check to vegetation, and 
prevented that premature expansion of leaves and flowers which 
too often ends in the ruin of our crops of fruit, particularly of 
apples and pears.
