VII. — Note on the Effects of the Winter of 1860-61 on Shrubs at 

 Penrose. — By John Jope EoaERS. 



AUGUST, 1860, was cloudy and wet (21 days rain), and 

 summer shoots of shrubs were not ripened properly. 

 Winter began early, and half-hardy shrubs, whose young branches 

 were still full of sap, suffered severely in Cornwall, whilst the 

 same kinds survived the winter in the suburbs of London.
