Ttie Winter -flowering Efeath. 
This very pretty species of Heath, which, 
as its name signifies, is a winter-flowering 
plant, is one of the prettiest that bloom at 
that season of the year ; and it has the addi- 
tional recommendation of being a very free 
growing species, and a very free bloomer. The 
habit of the plant is to make strong upright 
shoots during the latter part of the summer, 
which become covered throughout their whole 
length, in winter, with small bunches of 
flowers, about three or four growing together 
at the end of little branches of an inch or two 
long, produced by the strong shoots. The 
flowers are tubular, about half an inch long, 
white at the extremity, and purplish at the base. 
Before the plants commence growing, in the 
Spring, the strong shoots which have bloomed 
during the previous season should be cut in 
somewhat closely, in order to keep the plants 
dwarf and bushy ; the plants may then be 
repotted, and will produce strong shoots for
