Abstract
THE vast quantity of early flowers which reaches this country in the early spring from the Mediterranean region might lead one to suppose that the conditions of the climate there are entirely favourable to the forcing and rapid development of plants. A perusal of this book indicates that the gardeners of the littoral do not find circumstances by any means so propitious, for the east wind causes drooping of the leaves and withering of the flowers, while the mistral coming from the north-west at times blows with such force that trees are uprooted and shelters overthrown.
