There is a vast number of greenhouse plants to be seen in botanical gardens and large private establishments,\u003cbr\u003ebut only a limited number are offered for sale by nurserymen.\u003cbr\u003eFrom these plant catalogues, which they issue free of charge, I have selected the most decorative kinds and have given the fullest details of their cultivation.\u003cbr\u003eTherefore, by choosing plants from the \"lists of flowering plants for every season of the year\" given on p. 203, it will be found possible to provide a continuous display of flowers in the heated or unheated greenhouse.\u003cbr\u003eI am indebted to Messrs. T. Bath \u0026amp; Co., Ltd., Greenhouse Specialists,\u003cbr\u003e14 Norwood Road, Herne Hill, London, S.E. 24, for supplying the photographs of types of greenhouses, ventilators and heating appliances.\u003cbr\u003eI am also grateful to Dr. A. J. Willis, Reader in Botany in the University of Bristol, for advice and assistance in the preparation of this book.\u003cbr\u003eG. F.
