Excerpt from The Magazine of Horticulture, Botany, and All Useful Discoveries and Improvements in Rural Affairs, 1864, Vol. 30
The year may be characterized as an open and variable winter, a cool spring, a warm and wet summer, and a fine warm autumn. Strawberries, and the smaller fruits, were very abundant, except that the former suffered during a fort night of dry weather just at the critical season. Grapes were fine, and ripened everywhere; the frosts of September not being severe enough to do any injury.
