THE ([fREBWHOTUSIE 



OMETHING might be said about 

 what one sees in the average green- 

 house; about the sameness and lack of 

 the finer, rarer greenhouse plants that 

 would occupy no more room than the 

 commonplace ones 3S Why, if you 

 please, do we not see more of the ex- 

 quisite bouvardias, the camellias, gardenias, and 

 the new pink greenhouse buddleia, as well as the 

 lovely white variety 



^ How often do we see a well-grown Marechal 

 Niel rose, or a great-flowered clematis of pale blue 

 near the gold blooms of Marechal Niel? And lilies! 

 Why do we grow so few lilies and then only white,
