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. 
Nursery and Seed Catalogue forwarded free with pleasure 
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,
