The Gardeners' Chronicle, Vol. 41: A Weekly Illustrated Journal of Horticulture and Allied Subjects; January to June, 1907 (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Gardeners' Chronicle, Vol. 41: A Weekly Illustrated Journal of Horticulture and Allied Subjects; January to June, 1907 Here the sun shines in November as bright as ever, but his power is moderated by cool breezes, and the brilliant moonlit nights give a feeling of inexpressible enchantment. The air, even in midsummer, becomes delight fully cool and invigorating after sunset, and fragrant with the odours of fruits and flowers. In the autumn months the extreme transparency of the atmosphere gives not only all parts of the landscape an astonish ing clearness of outline, but even the sky does not look so high, nor so far away, as in the north, and at night-time the stars appear larger, their luminosity is greater, and they seem to be nearer, sparkling with wonderful glory and brilliancy. The air in fall and winter is particularly clear, and human voices can be heard at a great distance. Dews are very heavy during the nights, and all plants are dripping with moisture when the sun rises. Such a sunrise is very clear and grand, though the sunset is still more sub lime and impressive, because of its wonder ful, glowing lines. The whole sky in the west appears to be in flame, and this glorious sight lasts until night falls. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
