VI HOUSE PLANTS 



attain to the proper conditions, the better and 

 surer the results. 



Although every cultural statement made 

 is based on my own practical experience as 

 a grower, yet the experiences of successful 

 amateurs (as told in several numbers of the 

 Garden Magazine) have been drawn upon 

 in order to give encouragement to beginners. 

 Particularly must I acknowledge having 

 made extracts in Chapter I. from the writ- 

 ings of Mrs. M. K. Farrand, who created 

 the piazza conservatory, and whose calendar 

 of operations forms Chapter XVII. , the 

 cellar door conservatory was originally 

 described by Mrs. Edith L. Fullerton; the 

 gas stove heating arrangement was invented 

 by Mrs. E. A. Eames, and Mr. Leonard Bar- 

 ron's ideas are embodied in Chapter VI. 

 The home propagating box and the home 

 fumigator described are original with Mr. 

 L. J. Doogue. I also wish to thank Mr. J. 

 D. Eisele, Mr. Peter DufF, and Mr. A. J. 

 Manda for suggestions and assistance.
