A LIST OF GREENHOUSE PLANTS. 
In accordance with the wishes of several correspondents we 
offer a selected list of greenhouse plants; in doing; so we have 
purposely avoided mentioning the more common kinds, except in 
the case of an extensive genus; from these we have made selec¬ 
tions of such as are preferable, either for beauty or for the facility 
with which they may be managed ; of course, additions may be 
made, and on this subject our best information is always at the 
service of our readers. In the description of the under-men¬ 
tioned plants the predominant colour is given, though many of 
them have two or more colours or shades; but to give these 
minutiae would occupy too much space. Cl. are climbers, suit¬ 
able for training upon pillars or the rafters of the house; and 
tr. those which have abetter appearance upon trellis, and should 
be grown in pots, in contradistinction to the first, which require 
to be planted in the borders of the house.
