 ERICA STELLIFERA. 



Class. Order. 



OCTANDRIA MONOG YNIA. 



Native of the Cape of Good Hope. Ttis 

 a middle sized, bushy kind, and flowers in 

 June and July ; its blossoms are very 

 beautiful, and last long. It requires the 

 usual management, and is propagated by 

 cuttings without difficulty. The soil should 

 be peat, and the pots not too small. 



Surely '^ God is much wronged, and our- 

 selves are much defrauded of our peace and 

 joy, by passing over such abundance of 

 great, invaluable mercies, without tasting 

 their sweetness, or well considering what 

 we do receive! Had we David's heart, 

 what songs of praise would mercy teach us 

 to indite ! how affectionately should we 

 recount the mercies of our youth and riper 

 age I of every place and state that we h 

 ever lived in, to the honour of our gracious 

 Lord, and the encouragement of those who 

 know not how good aud merciful He is !I"
