HEATHERS (Cont’d) 
Heather bloom in the summer and are 
choice for cut flowers. The Irish Bell 
Heather also blooms in summer; both 
purple and white kinds are available. 
The various forms of Erica vagans, the 
Cornish Heath, produce their brilliant 
flowers in late summer and should not 
be overlooked. For winter and early 
spring blooms we recommend Erica car- 
nea in one or more of the pink forms, 
planted in combination with Springwood 
White. We usually have a number of the 
better kinds on hand. 
Heathers are especially recommended for 
planting in moist ground in sunny situa- 
tions where they will thrive with little 
care and produce blooms in_ greatest 
profusion. Also they are ideal for plant- 
ing under windows where their low habit 
and cherry bloom are always pleasing. 
Use them for bank covering or plant in 
drifts.
