Green-house PlaDts^ 



The distinction between green-honse and hot-house is not so marked 

 in our climate as it is in Europe. Our warm summers and bright win- 

 ters enable us to cultivate successfully in the green-house many plants 

 that are in Europe confined to the hot-house. Still we are convinced 

 that in selecting plants, errors are frequently committed, and plants are 

 purchased and placed in the green-house that are not capable of flourishing 

 in the temperature there maintained, and much disappointment has, in 

 consequence, been experienced. "We, therefore, offer a brief list of such 

 plants as will grow and flower in the green-house, where the temperature 

 is not allowed to fall lower than 88 degrees at auy time, but where it 

 may be allowed to rise 75 or 80 degrees during the day, with bright 

 sun. It may also be remarked, that the mode of management influences 

 the heat required. Plants inured to dryness will stand a low tempera- 

 ture without injury, where the same plants, freely watered and kept in 

 a damp atmosphere, would be severely hurt, if not destroyed.
