 injured. M r. Soutter .kI.I-s : — " In proof of the moist humidity of the 

 " atmosphere between the dates before mentioned, a mulberry tree near 

 " the back entrance to the gardens put forth from the upper branches 

 " clusters of adventitious roots to a length of several inches. An old 

 •' plant of Corns /i/iimosi/ sent oul ;ill round the base ;i perfect cordon of 

 ■' rootlets ;d)Diit three eighths of an inch in diameter and from four to 

 '' eight inches long. A bamboo "-hoot from the oOtli January to the 

 " <3th February grew a height of eight feet live and three-quarters of 

 " an inch, or at the rate of nearly 17 inches a day. This growth was 

 u . exceeded by the growth of an aerial root of Vitis pterophora, which in 

 " 48 hours grew a rootlet of 39£ inches in length, but considering that 

 " this was only one-eighth of an inch in diameter, it does not represent 

 " such a mass "of growth as the bamboo with its diameter of about three 

 " inches. Many other plants have made great growth during the 

 " period before mentioned. Crotons have grown several inches, as also
