No. 47. 
ERICA ARDENS. 
Class. Order. 
OCTANDRIA MONOGFNIA. 
A beautiful species, which has been intro- 
duced a considerable time into this country 
from the Cape of Good Hope. It generally 
begins to produce its flowers in March, and 
they are not guite over before the summer. 
Sometimes they are succeeded by seeds, 
which is the best way of increasing it, for it 
is extremely difficult to propagate by cut- 
tings. The soil reguired is sandy peat, with 
failing to allow plenty of air while in the 
reen-house.
