aromatic. If a lighted match is held for an 
instant at the base of the flower-spike on a 
still, close evening, the flame will crackle 
up the entire length of the stem. These 
plants are very permanent and love to be 
left alone when once established. 2 to 3 ft.

Erica and Calluna 
(Heath and Heather) 
Roadside planting by park departments 
has increased the use of Heather, proving it 
to be absolutely hardy in the eastern states. 
A compact, low-growing evergreen, it is an 
ideal plant for covering banks, for individual 
groups in the rock-gardens or in the fore¬ 
ground of evergreen plantings. When large 
plantings are intended, remember not only 
the beauty of the flowers but consider the 
amazing fall coloring of the foliage in some 
varieties. We recommend an annual clipping 
or shearing to keep it trim-looking. Grows 
best in a peaty soil.
