- Professor of Botany - I have written this book for the benefit of
those who wish to grow suitable plants to provide flowers in a
greenhouse or conservatory or to use for room decoration, during
all seasons of the year. Plants which do not flower freely and are
not of great decorative value have been omitted, and only those
which I have found to be ideal for the purpose have been dealt with
in this book. There is a vast number of greenhouse plants to be
seen in botanical gardens and large private establishments, but
only a limited number are offered for sale by nurserymen. From
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. Therefore, 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. I am
indebted to Messrs. T. Bath & Co., Ltd., Greenhouse
Specialists, 14 Norwood Road, Herne Hill, London, S.E. 24, for
supplying the photographs of types of greenhouses, ventilators and
heating appliances. I 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. G. F. GARDINER
