1 BEAUTY BY DAY 3 
In free translation HEMEROCALLIS might mean Beauty 
by Day, but Day Lily is the more usual English name. The 
Day Lilies are fully winter-hardy. They thrive in full sun, 
but tolerate shade. Seeds germinate readily (kt or even x 
cultures), seedlings usually blooming second year. We offer 
seed saved from hybrid varieties in full range of color forms.

1 ERICA or TRUE HEATH 
1 ERICA CARNEA—rkt(8)12. Called Spring Heath, but at 
our nursery it starts its flowering in early January, con- 
tinuing filled with its myriads of pretty pink bells until early 
May. When snow covers it, the blooms still remain, to emerge 
smiling and unharmed when the snow melts. Evergreen, 
needle-like leaves. A desirable plant for rock garden, front 
of the hardy border, or for edging or massing. It likes full 
sun and good drainage, with soils that are on the acid side. 
Pkt. 20c; 3 pkts. for 50c. Plants, small, mostly pot grown, 
each 70c; 3 for $1.90; 10 for $5.75. 
1 ERICA CINEREA—rk(2-3)14. Evergreen plants of many 
twisted branchings. Clusters of showy violet flowers. Pkt. 20c. 
1 ERICA STRICTA—rk(3)24. Summer-blooming species, 
loaded with purple bells. Upright branches, set closely with 
green needle-leaves: Winter-hardy at Philadelphia. Pkt. 25c.

HEATH ER— 
14 inches. Cal- 
luna. Gracefully 
irregular mounds 
of feathery foli- 
age, light green 
in summer, but 
as autumn cools 
the sprays be- 
come gold-tipped, then bronzed copper, and finally all is a 
rich coppery maroon, remaining so until spring when soft 
green resumes. Profuse summer flowers of rosy pink. By the 
way, all of the Heathers will stand shearing. Also any or all 
of them, planted a bit closely, will make a delightful, and 
different, ground cover. Good for edgings, too, or to fill a 
corner, or a space behind a walk. They will add distinction to 
the sunny rock garden, or to the mixed hardy border. Plants 
of the Coppery Heather, each 60; 3 for $1.65; 10 for $4.75; 
25 for $10.75.

25 for $11.50.

10 for $6.00. 
HAMMONDI ALBA—20 inches. Calluna. Fine foliage, always 
emerald green. Irregular, fountain-like form. Pretty little

Plants, each 65c; 3 for $1.75; 10 for $4.90. 
THE MOSSY HEATHER— The low plants grow to only some 
three inches of height, the foliage exceedingly fine, soft and 
mossy, densely packed to form low, spreading mounds of 
bright green. The flowers are of a pretty rose shade. A gem 
for the rock garden, or it may be used in dry walls. Plants, 
small pot-grown, each 75c; 3 for $2.00. 
OFFER 76DN—One plint each of Coppery Heather, Dwarf 
White Heather, Hammondi Alba, Mossy Heather, and of the
