TRIBUTES TO NOVEMBER.
In spite of storm and the fury of what the unscientific still call the elements, ecstatic tributes to the softness of November are contributed from all quarters. But it is not only November weather that is responsible. The scientific hybridizer must have some credit. In my garden; for example, a few bushes of Lloyd George raspberries (a variety as famous as the Baldwin black-currant) carry leaves as fresh and green and strong on the stalk as if frost and the battering of rain and even hail were unexperienced. The canes are full of berries just. formed.- It is extremely unlikely that they will ever " come to table," but the effect is a singular tribute to the expert growers who have been working at "perpetual" varieties. Their success in. roses, raspberries, and strawberries, all of which are " in season " at this nrionient, gives striking evidence of- the powers of the 'practical evolutionists.
