Observations — Much of the injury must be attributed to the un- 

 ripe state of the wood. We experienced more frost in the previous 

 winter of 1878-79 ; but our Hydrangeas were finer than usual after 

 it. This summer we had no bloom, all the points being killed. This 

 is one instance amongst many.
