Many amateur plant - growers in then oi er aniiety to grow fine plants make this fatal mistake In most gardens the greenhouse space is limited, and a gardener cannot always develop his plants to their fullest capacity or he his to reduce hi^ variety and numbers. For instance, we used to grow fancy pelargo- niums three and four feet in diameter, hut we found we either had to grow smalkr specimens or reduce the va- riety of our collections This, then, determines in the mind of an experienced gardener the composition of his potting mixtures His aim should be to grow the finest possible specimens lu the smallest possible pots and space, and all the cultural details given by the writer in this Cyclopedia have been with this idea in mind.
