ERICA VERSICOLOR. 
Class. Order. 
OCTANDRIA MONOGYNIA. 
This splendid sort was first raised about 
the year 1793. Itis a native of the Cape of 
Good Hope : with us it flowers during the 
early part of the summer. It is-a some- 
what robust sort, and if encouraged, will 
grow to a large size, in which state it is 
very ornamental, as it flowers in such rich 
profusion. Itis propagated by cuttings, and 
requires the usual greenhouse treatment, 
with sandy peat soil.
