This report, which is now being distributed, shows that the weather in Dominica during 1912-13 was, unlike that of the previous year, generally fine and the rainfall considerably below the average. From an agricultural point of view, the climatic conditions were very favourable throughout the Presidency. Work in the Gardens and the nurseries receives atten- tion first in the report.
