EFFECTS OF THE FINE SUMMEE OF 1911 ON THE FLOWER- 

 ING AND FRUITING OF PLANTS, SHRUBS, AND TREES 

 OUT OF DOORS, MORE PARTICULARLY IN CORNWALL. 



By Wilson Lloyd Fox, F.R.H.S., Carmino, Falmouth. 



The following list does not claim to be in any degree exhaustive, but 

 it is hoped that a record of the flowering and fruiting of some of the 

 species mentioned may prove of interest to horticulturists, and be of 

 use, so far as it goes, for reference in future years. It is to be borne 

 in mind that the heat in summer in Cornwall is not nearly so great as 

 in many other parts of England, and therefore a few of the species 

 which flowered or fruited unusually freely or for the first time out of 

 doors may be in the habit of doing so elsewhere frequently.
