Leucothoe catesbaei 
ERICA (Heather). Whether you are Scotch by 
name or by habit, heather can be one of the 
most valued plants i in your garden. Originally 
associated with the heaths of Scotland, it 
thrives almost anywhere in the United States, 
provided it is given a well-drained, sunny 
position, with a mixture of half peat or humus 
and loam. It will thrive even better if some 
sand ts used. 
ERICA HYBRIDA DARLEYENSIS. (Pink; 
Winter Blooming.) Use this evergreen of the 
heather clan as an edging or frontispiece for 
other shrubs. In full bloom, it contrasts 
fragile rosy flowers against handsome gray 
foliage. Low growing and compact, it prefers 
sun and well-drained soil. 
PICEA GLAUCA CONICA (Dwarf Alberta 
Spruce). The dwarf white spruce forms a 
well-shaped cone to balance the spreading 
evergreens of your garden. Its size makes it 
fit for use among rock-garden plants without 
overshadowing them. Neat, bluish green 
foliage will introduce a note of formality to 
displays of spring blossoms and provide con- 
stant warmth to bare garden spots. 
PICEA EXCELSA MAXWELLI (Maxwell 
Spruce). The dimmutive Maxwell spruce, 
like spice to a soup, contributes the ultimate 
touch to your garden and points up beauty 
around it. Irregular in shape and low to the 
ground, its firm branches are covered with 
thick, bright green foliage. Especially lovely 
in springtime. 
TAXUS BACCATA REPANDENS (Spreading 
English Yew). The king’s archers of old 
England chose the wood for their longbows 
from the ancient English yew. The only 
prostrate yew, this spreading evergreen shrub 
with its crisp blue-green foliage offers a graceful 
accent plant for gateways, garden steps and 
foundation plantings. Hardiest of all the yews, 
it does well in sun or partial shade.
