9781451004403: House Plants and How to Grow Them (Classic Reprint)

Synopsis

There have been books on window gardens and house plants before this, and they have told, at length, of every kind of plant that under some condition or other has eked out a struggling existence in our dwellings. The purpose of the present volume is to discuss fully those plants which are sure to succeed. If a selection is made from the various kinds enumerated in the following pages, failure is next to impossible; it can only be brought about by carelessness and inattention to the first principles of cultivation. Somewhat minute directions have been given for the preparation of soil, for seed sowing and for other operations in connection with each plant, and particularly as regards temperature. It should be understood that in every case these indicate the best conditions, not the imperative conditions; for success can often be achieved with wide divergence from the ideal.
