SPECIALITY IN BEE PASTURAGE.— "Erica 



Arborea," or Tree Heath, a hardy, white, very floriferous 

 evergreen shrub, 6 to 10 feet high in this climate, and can be 

 cut or pruned to any form or purpose, as hedges, etc. This 

 sweet-scented ornamental winter and spring flowering plant, 

 at least fully equal to its congener — the heather of the British 

 Isles — literally swarms with bees every fine half-hour in its 

 season, and is invaluable to bee-keepers, coming at a season 

 when flowers are scarce, and generally producing but little 

 bee-feed. Safe balled plants are being produced in quantity 

 at low rates — at present, 12 to 18 in. high, including package 

 and shipment, 5s. per doz., 27s. 6d. per 100, £10 per 1,000, 

 for cash on receipt of order.

 on receipt of address. In connection with Auckland Telephone 

 system — Telephone, No. 209. Busses pass the Nursery fre- 

 quently during the day, starting from the Greyhound Hotel,
