`` Heather does n't grow in America , does it ? '' `` There are just two patches of it in the whole continent , '' said Phil , `` one right here in the park , and one somewhere else in Nova Scotia , I forget where . The famous Highland Regiment , the Black Watch , camped here one year , and , when the men shook out the straw of their beds in the spring , some seeds of heather took root . '' `` Oh , how delightful ! '' said enchanted Anne . `` Let 's go home around by Spofford Avenue , '' suggested Gilbert . `` We can see all ` the handsome houses where the wealthy nobles dwell . ' Spofford Avenue is the finest residential street in Kingsport . Nobody can build on it unless he 's a millionaire . '' `` Oh , do , '' said Phil . `` There 's a perfectly killing little place I want to show you , Anne . IT was n't built by a millionaire . It 's the first place after you leave the park , and must have grown while Spofford Avenue was still a country road . It DID grow -- it was n't built ! I do n't care for the houses on the Avenue . They 're too brand new and plateglassy . But this little spot is a dream -- and its name -- but wait till you see it . '' They saw it as they walked up the pine-fringed hill from the park . Just on the crest , where Spofford Avenue petered out into a plain road , was a little white frame house with groups of pines on either side of it , stretching their arms protectingly over its low roof . It was covered with red and gold vines , through which its green-shuttered windows peeped .
Before it was a tiny garden , surrounded XXXXX a low stone wall .
