Eriabotrya japonica, Loquat, or Mespilus japonica, is a 
fine plant with large lanceolate, distinctly serrated leaves, 
white underneath ; small white flowers on a racemose spike, 
and produces a fruit about the size of a walnut, of a fine 
yellow blush colour, and of tartish flavour. If it flowers in 
the autumn, it will require the heat of a hot-house to ripen 
the fruit. It is of very easy culture, and its noble aspect 
is never passed unobserved. It is perfectly hardy in the 
Southern States, and forms a handsome evergreen. (Soil 
No. 11.) 
Erodiums, Heron's bill. There are about thirty species, 
all of a geranium character, and there are among them some 
very pretty flowering, soft-wooded, shrubby, herbaceous, 
and annual plants. Only a few of them belong to the 
green-house, of which E. incur ndtum, E. crassifbh'um, and 
E. lacinidtum are the finest; culture similar to Geranium. 
The flowers of these are scarlet, pentapetalous and veiny. 
(Soil No. 10.) 
Erytluina cristdgdlli, or Coral plant. If this magnificent 
scarlet flowering plant is desired to be kept in a pot or tub, 
it must have a repotting every month till September : to 
keep it in fine blooming condition, it is worthy of extra care, 
as it will bloom three times during the season, if well treated. 
(Soil No. 18.) For other methods, see Flower-Garden for 
April, May, and November. 
Esccdlonla, a shrubby genus, of about ten species, of rather 
neat blooming plants, of a strong shrubby habit. They 
require great encouragement to flower them well, if kept in 
pots : the best mode of treatment would be to plant them in 
pits with other half hardy shrubs. E. rubra, red flowering ; 
E. glandidosa, white; and E. bifida, pink, are the finest. 
(Soil No. 12.) They are perfectly hardy south of Virginia, 
and we are not certain but they may become acclimated here. 
Eucalyptus, above fifty species of them, and the tallest 
growing trees of New Holland ; foliage very diversified,
