No. 1778. 
ERICA LINNÆANA superba. 
Class. Order. 
OCTANDRIA MONOGYNIA. 
This was raised about 1806, and is be- 
lieved to be a hybrid plant. Itis without 
exception the fastest in growth of all the 
heaths, shooting sometimes three feet or 
more in a single season. Its flowers are 
very beautiful; they are pone, in the 
summer months. 
It is easily increased by cuttings, and 
should be kept in an airy greenhouse during 
winter, and potted in peat earth, in large- 
sized pots.
