MEETINGS FOR THE ENSUING WEEK. 

 TTbdxesdat, May 16— Horticultural at Gore Ilause, Kenain^tou.,2 r.n. 



♦ 1 



Thj long and excellent report upon the effect of 

 the last winter upon the vegetation near Dublin, 

 which we have lately published, led to some discus- 

 sion, for which we have not before found room. 

 The question raised was, in what manner does cold 

 act upon plant* when it causes death 1 



Dr. Steele expressed his opinion that this was 

 not properly understood. To the theory that death 

 ensued from a too great distension of their tissues, 

 caused by the congelation of their fluids, he objected.
