OBSERVATIONS OF WEATHER AND PLANTS 
483 
The months of July and August were very pleasant and sunny 
except at the coast where fogs reigned for many days at a time. 
September was wet and chilly much of the month, with frosts 
during the early weeks. Quite a severe frost and keen weather 
on the 19th, followed by rains. A week later, real autumn days, 
bright and pleasant, set in and continued during the month of 
October. Rarely has a finer October been seen in New Bruns- 
wick. There was very little rain-fall during the latter part of 
September or during October and November, and the lakes and 
streams were correspondingly low. 
The first snow fall of any importance was on the 10th of 
December, which gave good sleighing for a fortnight or more, 
but there was no severe cold during the month.
