 embrace this medium of announcing that they will com- 

 mence sending out the first week in May the annexed three new 

 ERICAS, which they ran with the greatest confidence recom- 

 mend, and which will doubtless l>e as universally admired as the

 Cavendifthi. jasminiflora, Hartnelli, \ .itricosa superba, muta- 

 bilis, tortuheflora, Tricolor eh , Sprengeli.

ERICA EXI IA SUPERB A.— This vari* may really be 

 said to be three tiroes as line as the parent whose name it bears ; 

 it la a very ompact grower and excellent bablt, with tubular 

 blossoms of a fiery scarlet coi r. This charming variety obtained 

 the First Seedling Prize at the Royal Botanic Gardens, 1862. 

 3l#. &/,

 having mingled with the violet." See also notice of Dr. Lindley 

 in the Chronicle for Dec. % 1854, as follows :— " L., P., & Co. Your
