ANDROMEDA CALYCULATA nana, 
pp Order. 
DECANDRIA MONOGYNIA. 
This neat little variety is a native of 
North America : itis evergreen, and seldom 
grows above half a foot from the ground. 
It flowers with us ia the month of March, 
being one of the earliest shrubby plants 
that we are acquainted with. 
It is quite hardy, and may be increased 
by layers, thriving best planted in a mixture 
of peat earth and loam in a border. Care 
should be taken to place such dwarf plants 
in situations where they may be seen to ad- 
vantage. It is thus even in matters of far 
greater importance, and such as are con- 
nected with our highest interests, for (to use 
the words of an excellent writer,) “ Much 
of the credit and comfort of Christianity is 
lost in consequence of its professors fixing 
their aims too low, and not conceiving of 
their high and holy calling in so elevated 
and sublime a view as the nature of religion 
would require, and the word of God would 
direct.”
