Stove Plants. The term "stove" applied to plants undoubtedly originated from the method of heating the structures in which plants were grown before the advent of hot water and steam. Glasshouses such as then existed were heated by stoves and flues, usually made of bricks. Such structures came to be called stovehouses or stoves, and the plants grown in them "stove-plants." (A "greenhouse was in those days an unheated glasshouse in which plants were merely kept alive over winter.) These terms still exist in England, but are applied to strictly tropical plants or those requiring a warm temperature for their successful culture in glasshouses. In this country such plants are usually spoken of as warmhouse or tropical plants.

In England, at the present time, more distinction is made in the names applied to plant-houses than in this country. For example, "greenhouse" in England means the coolest glasshouse only, while in this country the name is usually indiscriminately applied to all glasshouses. The names applied to plant-houses in England are therefore: stove, for tropical plants; intermediate house, for plants hailing from warm-temperate climates; greenhouse, for those plants requiring the least degree of heat. A conservatory or show-house is one in which plants are placed while in flower and usually kept at a cool temperature.

In practice such terms may be greatly modified to suit local conditions; for example, glasshouses are sometimes named cool-temperate house, warm-temperate house, tropical house, palm-house, acacia- and succulent-house, experiment-house and propagating-house, the temperatures and moisture conditions being regulated to suit the requirements of each class of plants.

The cultivation of stove plants is too heterogeneous a subject to be treated exhaustively in a single book, because the stove contains thousands of dissimilar plant treasures from the tropics, especially those found at low altitudes. In general, the stove is the house which requires the most expense and care, the greatest heat and the highest atmospheric moisture. For the general principles of its management, consult Greenhouse Management, p. 1408.
