Mountain Heather 
Here is a cousin to the famous Scotch 
Heather. It is not so well known, but 
we think it much prettier than its Scotch 
relation. 
It is a shrub. It varies from about 
three inches to a foot or more in height. 
The plants are often found in large 
patches which are covered with their 
rose-purple bells. 
The leaves are needle-shaped and ever¬ 
green. 
No. 17.
