Green-house plants are chiefly kept 

 in pots or tubs for moving them info 

 shelter in winter, and into the open air 

 in summer; for being all exotics from 

 warmer parts of the world, they are not 

 able to live in the open air in the 

 winter. 



Most of them will prosper in any 

 good rich garden earth. Some sorts, 

 however, require a particular compost. 

 As to the pots and tubs to contain the 

 plants, they must be of different sizes, 

 according to that of the plants ; and 

 when these become too large for pots, 

 they must be shifted into tubs, hooped 

 with iron, and with handles at top to 

 each, of the same metal. See Flower 

 Pots and Potting. 



Removing into the open air. — All the 

 sorts succeed in the open air from May 

 or beginning of June until October ; but 

 from October until May or June again 

 they require the shelter of the green- 

 house. The varieties of Myrtle, Gerani- 

 um, Oleander, Cistus, Phlomis, Shrubby 

 Aster, Tree Wormwood, Tree Candy 

 Tuft, Yellow Indian and Spanish Jas- 

 mines, Indian Bay, are the first that will 

 bear removal into the air; and in June, 

 accordingly as the season proves more 

 or less favourable, bring forth all the 

 others. But this should not be done 

 until there is a fair prospect of summer 

 being settled. 



It is a good observation that when the 

 Mulberry tree begins to expand its

fit to begin moving out most sorts of 

 green-house exotics. A mild warm day 

 should be chosen for this work, and if 

 during a warm rain it will be of much 

 advantage, as it will wash the leaves 

 and branches, and greatly refresh the 

 plants. 



When they are first brought out it is 

 proper to place the plants in some shel-
