There is only one variation from standard practice in exterior painting: it is well to run the paint over the surfaces of putty and about one-eighth of an inch on to the glass in order to prolong the life of the putty.

It might be well to varnish the putty and let it dry before painting.

Paint to be used inside the greenhouse should be selected with caution.

It should be known to be non-toxic to the plants.

The constant damp makes anything soluble.

Plants are so sensitive and the possible damage so insidious that the amateur is warned not to use any doubtful paint.

Deleterious effects on orchids may not show up for six months to a year.

In the discussion of the plan so far, provision has been made for maximum sun.

There is still the problem of controlling the intensity of the sun, which is again a matter on which intense debate rages among orchidists.
