The Difference between a Conservatory and a Greenhouse
These do not differ merely in name. The conservatory should be rather better in appearance, loftier, with a larger surface of glass at the sides and better flooring, ampie means of ventilating and shading, and should have a heating arrangement capable of maintaining a minimum temperature of 50° by night. It is best that the whole of the ground floor be covered with tiles, concrete or some similar substance, and that the side staging be movable. If the conservatory be of fair size I would dispense with a middle staging and put the plants into picturesque groups which could be changed according to tlie character of the plants.
A conservatory need not be large to be beautiful. I know such a structure attached to the house which is barely ten feet in length and whose breadth could easily be spanned with outstretched arms, yet it is always gay with flowers supplied by a greenhouse and a few frames and gives great delight to its owner.
