This is August, and the month in which many people like to make themselves, believe that spring is •here. Speaking on the matter the other day, a prominent Gisborne horticulturist questioned whether trees showed early or late spring growth, according to favourable or otherwise of the season (says the Times). He said one might expect that, with a favourable winter period with almost springlike conditions, the trees wouhl show earlier progress, but he had never noticed this, to be sb. Last winter was a very mild one, but there was- certainly no early spring growth then. It was an established fact that if the summer were a. dry one, the season would be shorter, and the crops would ripen more quickly, while a wet humid period would induce greater and more sustained growth, but lie could not say from observation whether, in th&springtime, the trees were any more forward in one year than, in another.
