more superb object than such a plant be imagined, when in 

 full bloom ? 



From over five hundred varieties, we cannot be expected 

 to give all that are deserving of cultivation ; as before 

 remarked, none are destitute of beauty. The periods of

 have heaths in bloom every month in the year. The fol- 

 lowing list contains a select variety in colors : — 



White or Light- Flowered. Arborea, Margaritacea, Grandinosa, Bow- 

 ieana, Jasminiflora, Conferta, Vestita alba, Odorata, Ventricosa, Pellu- 

 cida, Wilmoriana, Caffra alba.

For window culture, the varieties succeeding best are 

 Caffra rubra and alba, Margaritacea, Arborea, and Medi-

 because it is a general favorite, yet never seen in good 

 condition in the parlor.
