Great caution will now be necessary in the application of atmospheric
heat and humidity, as an excess of either will cause a premature and
unseasonable growth which no after-care could thoroughly rectify. The
thermometer for the majority of stove plants need not at any time of the
day exceed 60 deg., with a fall of 8 deg. or 10 deg. during the night.
Begonias.--They deserve a place in every stove, as they are plants of
easy cultivation, and bloom at a season when flowers are scarce; they
can also be introduced to the conservatory or sitting-room when in
bloom.
