C eras us Capollim was killed in the Society's Garden as an open 

 standard, but was uninjured against a south wall. 



Dendromecon rigidum, a small shrub, and the only specimen in 

 the country, was killed in the Society's Garden under a glass 

 covering protected by mats. 



Piiotinia arbutifolia was killed in the Society's Garden. 



Ribes glutifiosum, malvaceum, and speciosum in the Society's 

 Garden, were all killed to the ground, but sprung up again 

 as if uninjured ; at Sketty R. speciosum was damaged, but not 

 materially. 



Pin us insignis was generally killed, and evidently proved to be too 

 tender for this climate. P. Llaveana was unhurt in the So- 

 ciety's Garden. 



Tigridia Pavonia, covered with leaves and planted in peat, was 

 nearly killed at Spofforth for the first time. The bulbs in front 

 of the greenhouse, in garden soil, though not touching the 

 wall, were uninjured.

Azalea indica. Of this species there are not many returns. With 

 Mr. Beadon the double purple stood with protection, alba, 

 under the same circumstances, was much cut, while phcenicea 

 and the hybrid Smithii were killed. In the Durdham Down 

 nursery near Bristol, all the varieties were killed except alba, 

 which was unhurt. At Abbotsbury, A. phcenicea was da- 

 maged more than alba. At Redleaf, alba, which had been 

 growing in the open ground for many years, was much in- 

 jured. At Carclew, all the varieties seem hardy, but Azalea 

 indica itself less than the others ; at this place they are 

 grown in the shrubberies. At Spofforth A. ind. phcenicea
