ERICINELLA. 



A small-growing, Heath-like shrub (ord. Eric- 

 ace:e), needing precisely similar treatment to that 

 accorded to dwarf Heaths. 



Principal Species : 



Matinii, Jv., rrim. 



ERIGERON. (FLEABAXE.) 



A largo genus (unl. Composita;), comprising 

 many good garden plants, as well as a number of 



l-.ricala (see dent'iaita).

hardly any value. It is impossible to name more than 

 a few of those worth growing. They have Daisy- 

 like flowers, and are suitable for the border or rock 

 garden. All those named are perennials. Propa- 

 gation, by seeds sown in spring in the open, or 

 in a frame, or by division in spring. Any common 

 garden soil will suit the greater number, but a few 

 of the dwarfer species like one of a light character. 

 Snails and slugs are frequentlv very destructive to 

 Krigrrons in late autumn, and must be searched

ERINACEA. 



One species only makes up this genus (nrtl. 

 I.oguminosaj), which is closely allied to Anthyllis 

 and needs the same cultural treatment. Th 

 species, pungens, likes a dry, sunny nook in a 

 rockery.

 Anihyllis Erinacea and Erinacea liispnnica).
