CHAPTER XLII. 



GENERAL COLLECTION OF PLANTS GROWN UNDER 

 GLASS. 



The tender plants, grown under glass, in our climate 

 are divided into two classes those styled " greenhouse 

 plants," which may be grown in a night temperature of 

 from forty to fifty degrees ; and those known as "hot- 

 house" or "stove plants," requiring a night temperature 

 from sixty to seventy degrees, with a day temperature, in 

 both cases, from ten to fifteen degrees higher. But the 

 line of temperature between greenhouse and hot-house 

 plants cannot be closely drawn ; still, it will help begin- 

 ners to give a short list of each, until experience enables 

 them to make nicer distinctions. For a more extended 

 list, sea special greenhouse catalogues.
