No. 1788. 
ERICA ELATA. 
: Class. Order, 
“ OCTANDRIA MONOGY NIA. 
We raised this gigantic species in 1793, 
from Cape seeds. It grows very freely, 
and rarely flowers tillit has attained the 
height of five or six feet, which by giving 
it pretty large pots it will do at about the 
age of three years. The flowers are very 
large and splendid; they are produced 
during the summer months. 
It requires the airy greenhouse treat- 
ment, and will strike freely by cuttings, 
which should be potted in peat soil.
