Greenhouse Plants — continued. 
CULTURAL NOTES. -Plants suitable for Greenhouses thrive best in a temperature of 40 to 50 
degrees in Winter. All the Soft-wooded Plants of this Section need supplies of weak liquid manure, 
or a top-dressing of artificial manure, such as our "Ideal” Fertilizer, as soon as they are well 
established in the pots, if free and continuous bloom is required. The Hard-wooded Plants mostly 
require peat, leaf-soil, and sand, with a little well-rotted old manure, and do best in the coldest and 
most airy part of the house. The Soft-wooded Plants require rotted turf, old manure, leaf-mould, 
and sand, and do best in the warmest part of the house. If either class is wanted for Winter bloom, 
10 to 15 degrees more heat is required than is needed to keep them in health without bloom, and a 
drier atmosphere is essential. From June to September 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. The house should be well ventilated, and 
slightly shaded from strong sunshine. Fumigate or syringe with some insecticide before the insects 
appear.
