ERICA BLANDFORDIANA. 
Class, Order, 
OCTANDRIA MONOGYNIA. 
This is of considerably larger growth than 
the foregoing sort, attaining sometimes three 
or four feet in height. The spring is its 
flowering season, when it remains a long 
time in perfection. It generally grows erect, 
and forms a sort of graceful pyramid, almost 
covered with blossoms from top to bottom. 
It is also from the Cape of Good Hope, and 
must be protected by the greenhouse, re- 
quiring similar management with the other 
species as to soil, &c. It may be increased 
either by cuttings, or vi which frequently 
ripen in this country.
