Abstract
THE difference in vegetation between the sea and continental climate is no doubt best observed in the growth of plants generally cultivated in the temperate zone for different purposes, as every climate has its own region or flora. Whether the climate of a country is favourable to those plants or not is shown, in the first place, by their extension to the north; therefore we shall first endeavour to trace the northern limits of the most important plants, either cultivated in one country and growing wild in another, or cultivated everywhere.
