538 JOURNAL OF THE ROYAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. 



of the R.H.S. would be glad to receive suggestions for making the lists 

 more complete. 



It is suggested that the following should be added to all Show 

 schedules in which classes for stove and greenhouse plants appear : 



CLASSIFICATION. 

 Stove, and Greenhouse, and Hardy Plants. 



With a view of removing difficulties and resolving doubts as to 

 the distinction between stove, and greenhouse, and other flowering 

 plants, the following list has been prepared by the Royal Horticul- 

 tural Society and will be adopted for the purposes of this schedule. 



The R.H.S. fully recognize the difficulty in differentiating between 

 some stove and greenhouse, and greenhouse and hardy, plants. 

 Differences of climate and personal taste both play a part in the 

 selection of the plants cultivated under these heads. Everyone is, 

 of course, at perfect liberty to cultivate such plants as he likes and 

 how he likes, and where he likes, but for exhibition purposes it is 

 absolutely necessary to secure uniformity by an arbitrary list of 

 classification. It is impossible to enumerate all flowers — their number 

 forbids. The list contains only those plants and flowers which have 

 actually been brought before the R.H.S. as giving rise to disputes, and 

 others will be added as they are met with, or their uncertainty com- 

 municated to the R.H.S.
