238 MISCELLANEOUS INTELLIGENCE. 



Erica ventrieosa carnea. — Mr. Clarke, gardener at Shirley Park, exhibited a 

 fine plant, about three feet high and equally broad, most profusely in bloom. 



E. eleyans. — Mr. Jackson had a fine plant of this beautiful kind inmost vigor- 

 ous health, and though it is of a very dwarf habit, this plant was half a yard 

 high, and with its fine pretty green flowers had an interesting appearance. 



Erica tricolor. — A very superb plant of this handsome species was exhibited by 

 Mr. Salter, gardener to J. Yelles, Esq.. of Bath; it was three feet high and the same 

 in breadth, and its branches pendulously laden with its red, pink arid green flowers. 



Erica Bowieuna. — Mr. Jackson, of Kingston Nursery, exhibited a beautiful 

 bushy plant, near five feet high, in fine bloom, which, with its pearl-white blos- 

 soms in contrast with the rich deep foliage, produced a pretty appearance. 



Erica propenc/ens was shown by Mr. Barnes. It was about a yard high, wholly 

 clothed with its beautiful pendent, bell-shaped, rosy-purple flowers. 



Erica suaveolois. — A fine plant of this pretty species was exhibited in fine 

 bloom, with its fragrant, pretty pink flowers. 



Erica mundu/a. — Mr. Barnes had a fine plant "of this very neat and strikingly 

 pretty flowering kind. The flowers standing erect, and the surface of each being 

 near half an inch across, of a lovely lilac with a red eye, give a very interesting 

 appearance. 



We could not justly insert all the particulars of the fine articles exhibited in 

 one, or even two numbers of our publication, to the exclusion of all other matters, 

 but in our next we hope to conclude the lists.
