TRANSLATORS' NOTE. 



Ihe appearance of "StrelfzLige an .der Riviera" in its 

 Englisli garb is due to the generosity of Sir Tliomas Hanburv, 

 whose beautiful garden at La Mortola is as interesting to 

 the botanist as to pleasure-seekers on the Riviera. The 

 Botanical Institute of the University of Genoa and the garden 

 of the Royal Horticultural Society at Wisle-\' are among his 

 many gifts to Science and to Horticulture. 



The translation of Professor Strasburger's interesting 

 book has been a pleasant task, taking us back over many 

 familiar scenes. We hope that our English version may 

 afford equal pleasure to the reader. 



We would like to acknowledge here the friendly co- 

 operation of the learned Author from whose revised and 

 annotated copy this translation has been made.
