Setting up Blocks of Peat to Dry Introductory Note Heather is not peculiarly Scotch. It grows onthe moors and waste lands of all parts of Britain andis found in most sections of the continent of in Scotland it is omnipresent to an unusual de-gree, and, besides, it has become so closely associatedin literature, both of fact arid of fiction, with thisparticular country as to have acquired many synony-mous attributes. The flowers are of a lilac-rose color,but vary much in depth of tint, thus adding materiallyto the beauty of the wilds which they delight to in-habit. The heather is in its glory in late August andearly September, and one who sees it then would beapt to forget that it had any other mission than todelight the eye; yet it is not without its utilitarianaspect as well. The domestic bees find their richestfeast of the year in its blossoms; the plants contributemuch to the formation of peat; the shrubby growthmakes admirable cover for the game birds
