Perennial Plants 
Heathers 
Heathers are becoming better known 
in this country for their fine evergreen 
habit and unusual period of bloom. 
They stand like miniature trees, bearing 
wands of small, bell-shaped flowers dur¬ 
ing July, August and September. And 
a few of the tardy ones do not make 
up their minds to bloom before the 
first of November, and then remain 
lovely throughout the Winter until 
late May.
