CALLUNA AND ERICA - Heaths and Heathers 
The Heaths are compact, low-growing evergreen plants, and as such 
are extremely useful for planting in front of evergreens or as edgings. 
The small foliage is densely arranged around the wiry little stems, and 
either when in full bloom or in midwinter makes a very pretty picture. 
Culture. All Heaths and Heathers require a warm, well-drained soil. 
Half peat and loam freely mixed with coarse sand to which a liberal 
quantity of well rotted cow manure has been added suits them best.

is a very fine addition to the garden. It will do splendidly in dry and 
sunny places such as exposed banks or as edgings to dry walks, where 
it is difficult for other plants to survive. Its constant flowering during 
the middle of the summer when there are no flowers in the garden makes 
it very valuable there also.
