ERI'CA. Heath. (From erico, to

All natives of the Cape of Good Hope, except
where otherwise mentioned. Cuttings of the
points of shoots, when fresh growth enables the
handling of them easily, inserted in sand, the
pots previously being half-filled with drainage,
and then filled with sandy peat, in various de-
grees of fineness the rough over the drainage,
the fine at the top, all surmounted by, at least,
half an inch of silver sand, well pressed and
watered, and pressed again a day before using,
and then covered with a bell-glass, and set in
a close pit or frame. Some slow-growing kinds
require to be put into heat, in order to get cut-
tings. Sandy peat for all, especially the slow-
growing, using plenty of drainage ; for the very
strong-growing, a very little fibry loam may be
used. In potting from the cutting pots, it is
best to place three or four round the sides of
small pots for the first winter, singling them
out, and then keeping them close the following
spring, hardening them off by degrees ; as larger
pots are wanted, pieces of charcoal and sand-
stone are valuable for keeping the soil open.
The pots, if set out of doors, should be protected
from the sun in summer ; if plunged, drainage
should be secured by setting the pot on bricks.
Winter temp., 35 to 45, with abundance of
air.
