GREENHOUSE PLANTS ARE ONE OF OUR FEATURES. 
2H 
Greenhouse Plants. 
CULTURAL NOTES — Plants suitable for Greenhouses, thrive best in a temperature of 40 
to so (leerees in Winter. All the Soft-wooded Plants of this Section need supplies of weak hqunl 
inannre, or a top-dressing of artihcial manure, such as our Ideal ” Fertilizer as soon as they are 
well established in the pots, if free and continuous bloom is required. The Hare -wooded 1 lants 
mostly reiinire peat, leaf-soil, and sand, with a little well-rolled old manure, and do best in the 
coldest and most airy pari of the house. T he Soft-wooded Plants reipiire rotted turf, old niamire, 
leaf-mould, and sand, and do best in the warmest part of the house. If either class is wanted for 
Winter bloom 10 to iq degrees more heat is required than is needed to keep them in health without 
bloom and a drier atmosphere is essential. From June to Sejitember Hard-wooded Plants do 
well in a cold frame or behind a north wall or fence, if attended to for water, and kept quite free from 
insects. Soft-wooded Plants at this time are mostly in bloom. 1 he house should be well ventilated, 
and slightly shaded from strong sunshine. Fumigate or syringe with some insecticide before the 
insects apj/ear. We recommend Campbell’s Fumigating Insecticide and Lemon Oil I.iiiuid Insecti- 
cide for this purpose. (See Index).
