Very ornamental shrubs with decorative fruits re- 

 maining usually throughout the winter. The dwarfer

 mixed with the dwarfer broad-leaved evergreens. 



Franchetl. Tall, upright, densely branched shrub with 

 spreading branches. Fruit orange-red; semi-evergreen. 



Horizontalls. A low-growing shrub with almost hori- 

 zontal branches. Small shiny green leaves and

 border planting.

 and large red berries by the end of June.

 high producing large, 

 showy spikes of bright 

 pink flowers in late 

 summer and early fall.

 and foliage, is sweetly 

 scented. In addition to 

 being very conspicuous 

 in the landscape the

 attention than ordinary 

 plant material. We

Most of these Heaths are compact, low-growing, and

 picture. Give some protection the first winter to ac- 

 climate them. Semi-shady location.
