AZALEA INDICA phenicea. 
Class. Order. 
PENTANDRIA MONOGYNIA. 
A native of China, introduced in 1825 by 
the Horticultural Society, from whont we 
received it. It produces its magnificent 
flowers in May and June, and when planted 
in a conservatory, and grown to four or 
five feet high, is exceedingly ornamental. 
It may be increased by cuttings freely, 
and appears to like a shady situation, with 
great abundance of water: it should be 
planted in peat earth. We consider it a 
very choice and beautiful production of the 
d of our Benign Creator, that “ God 
Whom we admire, Whom we worship, 
Whom we entirely love, or, at least, Whom 
we desire to love above all things: Whom 
we can neither express in words nor con- 
ceive in our thoughts; and the less we are 
capable of these things, so much the more 
necessary is it to adore Him with the pro- 
foundest humility, and love Him with the 
greatest intensity and fervour.”
