Erica carnea sherwoodi (Sherwood Creeping Heath] 
Low growing heath with brilliantly green foliage. Blooms very profusely in 
late winter and spring. Flowers bright carmine red. Perfectly hardy. Splen- 
did new evergreen. Height 6 inches. Has the habit of rooting along the stems 
thereby spreading almost indefinitely in a very satisfactory manner. An 
extraordinarily beautiful gem in rockeries, around pool margins and in 
borders. A superb ground cover. Pleasingly fresh in appearance the year 
round. Probably the best of dwarf heaths.

Erica carnea (an early red) | 
We are not sure of the name of this worthy heath. It blooms in January and 
February before the other carneas and has bright red flowers in great pro- 
fusion. It resembles the Sherwood Creeping Heath and like it, is a superb 
ground coyer. It is perhaps at its best on steep banks and terraces but is 
fine in almost any place where low-growing plants are desired for it is 
always lovely, always admired.

Erica Rybridau Devine oie ence cis a tee 
One of the attractive new evergreens. Height about 18 inches, foliage soft, 
thick, and much branched. The flowers are large, clustered pink bells. It 
stays in bloom all summer. Hardy, very rare. This variety is a real gem and 
merits the attention given it. It possesses unusual delicacy, both in foliage 
and blossoms.

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.
