ERICACEAE 
There is no family more useful in the rock garden and for foreground 
plantings, for long blooming period, lively color, permanence and 
fullness of beauty than the heath family and as a whole none more 
tractable. They are a congenial group and have such strong family 
resemblances and affinities that there is only harmony when planted 
together. A cool root run and acid soil are their chief requisites. All 
are woody and most are evergreen.
