ERICA VESTITA camea. 



Class. Order. 



nCTA NDRIA MONOG YA/A, 



This is a richly-coloured and beautiful 

 variety of the vestita : it grows ratlier tall, 

 with long upright branches, which throw 

 out their elegant whorls of flowers near 

 the tops, usually in March and April. 



It requires the accustomed treatment, 

 with the shelter, during winter, of a light 

 airy greenhouse. It may be increased by 

 cuttings, and should be potted in peat earth, 

 observing to allow good room for its roots, 

 as very small pots do not at all agree with 

 it.
