Green-house plants are chiefly kept
in pots or tubs for moving them info
shelter in winter, and into the open air
in summer; for being all exotics from
warmer parts of the world, they are not
able to live in the open air in the
winter.
Most of them will prosper in any
good rich garden earth. Some sorts,
however, require a particular compost.
As to the pots and tubs to contain the
plants, they must be of different sizes,
according to that of the plants ; and
when these become too large for pots,
they must be shifted into tubs, hooped
with iron, and with handles at top to
each, of the same metal. See Flower
Pots and Potting.
Removing into the open air.—All the
sorts succeed in the open air from May
or beginning of June until October ; but
from October until May or June again
they require the shelter of the greenhouse.
The varieties of Myrtle, Geranium,
Oleander, Cistus, Phlomis, Shrubby
Aster, Tree Wormwood, Tree Candy
Tuft, Yellow Indian and Spanish Jasmines,
Indian Bay, are the first that will
bear removal into the air; and in June,
accordingly as the season proves more
or less favourable, bring forth all the
others. But this should not be done
until there is a fair prospect of summer
being settled.
It is a good observation that when the
