Guonymus radicans acutus 



HEATHER • Calluna 



vulgaris {Erica vidgaris) and its varieties are perfectly hardy in 

 New England. They require sun and will flourish on a bank or 

 a border where they have full exposure to the sunshine. Among 

 dwarf, hardy, woody plants, there are few that continue so 

 long in bloom as these. For rock-gardens, for edging shrubbery 

 borders, and for ground-covering purposes in sunny situations, 

 they are unrivaled.
