ERICA. Heath. (Ericaceae, Heath Family) 
Like the Callunas, the Ericas herein listed are perfectly hardy evergreen dwarf 
shrubs of indispensable value in the rock garden. All the species listed are natives of 
Europe and all are distinct either in habit of growth or in flower. These handsome sub- 
jects offer a good range of color and a long blooming season, extending from November 
right through the winter and spring to August and September. A section of these 
plants with the Callunas, Daboecias and Bruckenthalia will be loved an cherished for 
years on end. All the Ericas require the same soil as the Callunas and other ericacious 
shrubs, that being a light peaty acid leafmold soil composed of peatmoss, acid leafmold 
sharp sand and loam. They all prefer full sun but can stand some light shade. 
Erica carnea Ruby Glow. A six inch high compact mound of spreading, almost prostrate 
branches with fine dark green leaves that turn a rich bronze color in fall Trul 
glowing ruby red flowers in February, March and April. A slow growing form ef
