The Ladies' Flower-Garden of Ornamental Greenhouse Plants (Classic Reprint)
0 - Default Title
Description
Greenhouse plants are now also planted out much more commonly in the open air than they used to be, and for this purpose cuttings are made in autumn, and struck by plunging them into a hotbed; and the plants thus raised are kept during the winter in what is called a cold pit, and they are planted out in May or J une. A cold pit is formed by making an excavation in the ground about two feet deep, and lining it with brick. Ou this is set a frame with glass lights, like that used for a hotbed, and the plants which are put in it are kept as dry as possible. Air is given every mild day between ten and three o'clock; and the glass lights are covered with mats every evening between four and five, when it appears at all likely to freeze.
