Erica mediterranea hybrida (Darley Heath) 
This is one of the most attractive and desirable plants in its class grown in 
our nursery. It is hardy and dwarf, seldom reaching more than 1 foot in 
height. It has beautiful, dense, dark green foliage, and from early winter 
to late spring is covered with such a profusion of lovely purplish blossoms 
that the foliage is practically obscured. It is not unusual to see this brave 
little plant blossoming through the snow. Being a winter bloomer, hardy, 
equally good for rockeries, borders, groups and masses, it should be in- 
cluded in every planting.

Heath. Fits well into average plantings. Hardy. Blooms through the spring 
season. A gorgeous plant in bloom and always attractive in foliage.
