SHORTER NOTES 

 Plants in flower in the Autumn of 191 8 on Long Island, 

 N. Y. — Weather Bureau records confirm the observations of 

 everyone that October was the warmest ever known in this vi- 

 cinity. Certain days of almost summer heat were warmer than 

 any October day for as far back as the records go. It is probably 

 due to these unseasonably warm October days that the following 

 list of plants in fresh flower on October 28-30, and November 1-2, 

 can be recorded.
