Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Amateur's Greenhouse and Conservatory: A Handy Guide to the Construction and Management of Planthouses, and the Selection, Cultivation, and Improvement of Ornamental Greenhouse and Conservatory Plants Considering the treacherous nature of our climate and the length of the winter season, it cannot be said we have as yet attained to a full knowledge of the value of glass in horticulture. Nevertheless immense progress has been made since glass and bricks and timber were rendered free of duty, and the vast number of patented plant houses and protective pits that are now in the market sufficiently prove that the demand for such has increased and is increasing. An amateur who purposes to provide some kind of glass structure to enlarge the uses and enhance the enjoyments of the garden may well be perplexed at first as to the best mode of procedure. The horticultural papers teem with advertisements of "portable," "imperishable," and "multum in parvo" plant houses, and with an almost endless variety of apparatus for heating. It will be found, however, on careful inspection, that in plan and material these do not greatly differ, and that in certain leading particulars they very nearly agree all round, so that a blind man could scarcely go wrong, except, perhaps, as to price, in making choice amongst them. But it is not every one who desires the latest patented invention turned out complete as from a bandbox. In one case an amateur may elect to be his own builder; in another there may be need to give a builder directions, and, perhaps, to watch over the work. One important condition of success, whatever be the mode of procedure, is that the amateur should have a clear idea of the sort of house required to suit the plants he intends to shelter in it. The great point is to begin well, and the business of the writer of this will be to point out as clearly as possible how the desired end is to be secured, at the least possible expense, and with the greatest possible promise of a successful issue. Matters of fact will concern us chiefly, but matters of opinion will, perhaps, occasionally intrude and be governed always with good intentions, and seasoned with some little knowledge of the subject sufficient, let us hope, for the purpose.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Floral World and Garden Guide: A Complete Manual for the Management of the Garden, Greenhouse, and Conservatory The Epiphyllum truncatum, with its varieties of rose and scarlet, are very attractive objects from the end of November until late in the spring. Plants grafted on stems about 18 inches to 2 feet high, form quite umbrella-shaped heads, and produce hundreds of blossoms. When grown thus they form splendid objects. Smaller plants, when in bloom, show themselves well Off when placed in a hanging basket for the blooms are seen to the best advantage, as they are naturallyr of a pendulous habit. They require a mixture of sifted lime-rubbish, sharp sand, yellow loam, and leaf-mould, in about equal proportions. If large plants are required, they must have plenty of root-room when they are growing, and be moderately supplied with water. Do not allow them to become hard and dry, for if you do they will not flower satisfactorily. They require to be kept in a hot sunshiny corner in the greenhouse all the summer.

A FEW POPULAR STOVE PLANTS AND THEIR CULTURE. Achtmenes.--Few plants have so rapidly acquired a large portion of favour as this striking family. The roots are small and tuberous, as much like large white maggots as any thing I can think of, and A. coccinea had been cultivated many years under the name of Trevirania coccinea. The plant, it will be recollected, died down every season. The maggot-like tubers were taken up when nearly dry, and generally placed, half a dozen in a pot of the size thirty-two, and, after growing some months, bloomed a small scarlet flower at the base of each leaf: bright as it was, it never was a favourite with me, because the proportion of flower to the foliage was so small; but we have now some splendid varieties with flowers as large as a half-crown piece, and as numerous as the little scarlet ones were. The plants grow finer and are literally covered with bloom, --some of dark purple, others of a rosy purple. A. Longiflora, A. Skinneri, and A. Picta, should be grown. The others I care little about; in fact, all the small flowering ones may be dispensed with, and especially as we are acquiring new varieties of the larger kind every season. They grow best in loam and peat, and, if the loam be from rotted turfs, no dung; if it be plain, put one part loam, one part leaf mould, and two parts peat. Fill the thirty-two-sized pots within an inch and a half of the top, first settling it down by striking the pot on the table; then place about half a dozen of the largest tubers in the soil, and cover them up nearly to the top of the pot. Let this be done in January or February, and place them in the stove anywhere. "When they come up they must be placed in the light--the nearer the better. Befresh them occasionally with...
