THE WEATHER AND VEGETATION AT LA MOR- 
TOLA, VENTIMIGLIA, ITALY.—Writing on Januasy 5, 
1895, our esteemed correspondent Mr. T. HANBURY 
remarks :—‘‘ The new year opened with frost, the ice 
on the ornamental water in the centre of my garden 
not tha ving for four days, i attaining & thickness 
of eee of an inch; this was succeeded b 
no great ee the bright sunshine 
to di 
sunny clime, and the great dryness ge — here 
in the winter, I find myself unable to any suffi- 
cient explanation why such tender det as Helio- 
tropium, Bouvardia, Tropezolum, and Hebeclinium, 
which in England shrivel with the first touch of frost, 
here seem unaffected by such weather as I have 
described.”
