Excerpt from Flowers of the French Riviera
My endeavour will be to give a faithful account of what is being done in the present year as it must be borne in mind that the production of, and the trade in, cut flowers are undergoing frequent and material changes from one season to the next.
The mere difference in latitude cannot account sufficiently for so large a discrepancy as exists between the coast of Kent or Sussex and that of Provence. The climatic conditions peculiar to the Riviera must be traced in a -1arge proportion to the effect of the sheltering hills and mountains which keep off the north winds, turn away the currents of cold air, and radiate the heat they receive from the sun on warm clear days.
