THE PLEASURE GROUND. 



•J};:, 



Hope, will stand nine or ten degrees of frost, in 

 this situation ; and very probably, by further expe- 

 rience, we may meet with some sorts that will 

 stand the severity of our Winter months altogether. 

 The Erica actcea, triflora^ nxAjloribunda, have stood 

 out of doors here, through the last two years, with- 

 out being in the least degree injured by the frost. 



The last two Winters were, undoubtedly, very 

 favourable for their preservation; the thermometer, 

 in this quarter, not indicating more than 14 degrees 

 of frost.
