THE GARDENERS' 
CHRONICLE. 
[January 15, 1887, 
grown in my own garden, and usually regarded as 
more or less tender, but which passed nearly or 
quite uninjured through the winter. 
ARDMORE. 
The locality included in these notes is a little to 
the west of Bournemouth. It is protected by 
rising ground more or less covered by Scotch Fir 
and Pinaster, from the north and east, whilst the 
lowest temperature registered Һе: 
last winter (1885—86) at a height of 10 feet above 
the ground, was 21° while that of 22° 
ahr. was continued without interruption for 
several days in succession. 
The following enumeration includes ved 
shrubs and trees, re these, having perman 
oody stems, are аг better indices of climatal 
action than click plants, whose stems for 
the naturally die down at the 
approach of winter 
The plants here recorded vary considerably in 
their general I to cold, and some of 
be scarcely called tender, but I 
believe that thes are none included in the list, 
which n the midland and northern counties 
of Еһ гапа would, if unprotect ted, pass with- 
out destruction or serious injury through such a 
winter as that of 1885—86. 
e p'ants enumerated are all grown in the 
open border, and I make no mention of such as 
have had the protection of a wall. It should be 
stated, however, that a stout mulching of litter 
was spread over the borders. in the preceding 
autumn, more with the view of retaining mois- 
ture in the light, sandy soil, than as a protection 
against cold.

The longest bulb is 11 inches long; the leaf sent i is

both on this year'sand last year's bulbs. 'The bulbs 
continue growing the second year, somewhat in the 
manner of Denbrobium Falconeri, but. as yet they 
ave not shown any disposition to branch." 
A careful pencil sketch shows the joints of the
