Hardy, blue-flowered evergreens. Sow in March or 

 April ; propagate by dividing the plant at the same time, 

 or in September ; also, by stout cuttings at a similar 

 period ; the varieties are propagated by cuttings, and, 

 if rare, require a hand-light over them ; dry, light soil. 

 The plant is not only aromatic, but the flowers are 

 beautiful.

Hardy, or half-hardy evergreen herbs, with slender 

 leaves like pine-needles. Cuttings in sand during July

 and leaf-mould. Young plants should be kept in a pit 

 or frame during winter.

IBERIS. Candy Tuft. (From Iberia, the ancient 

 name of Spain, where the species abound. Nat. ord. 

 Crucifers [Crucifera?]. Linn. i$-Tetr adynamia. Allied to 

 Thlaspi.) 



All white-flowered, except where otherwise specified. 

 Annuals and biennials, by seeds hi March and April ; 

 most of the annuals, and especially the umbella'ta group, 

 are very hardy, and if sown in autumn will generally 

 stand the winter, and bloom in April and May in conse- 

 quence. The shrubby evergreen group, by seeds, but 

 chiefly by cuttings after flowering, under a hand-light, 

 in a shady corner, in summer. /. semperui'rens may be 

 taken as a type of this group, and whether in a clump, 

 by the side of borders, or hanging over knolls and rock- 

 works, its masses of white flowers are really beautiful.
