In offering the following lists it may be well to 

 state that the different classes of plants are arranged 

 under distinct heads no less for the sake of clearness 

 than with intention from a cultural point of view. 

 In starting work in an unheated greenhouse it is 

 desirable that the amateur gardener should choose 

 one or, at most, two of the classes named, according 

 to individual taste, making a specialty, for example, 

 of roses or bulbs or alpines, as the case may be, 

 rather than that he should attempt to grow a mis- 

 cellaneous selection in which each separate plant 

 requires a different treatment. 



The subjoined lists make no claim to be descrip- 

 tive, but simply supply practical hints from past 

 experience as to the treatment of the plants named, 

 which it is hoped may be helpful.
