WHITE ANNUALS 
Atyssum. Sweet (A. maritimum, var. Benthami). 1 ft. One of the 
earliest of annuals, blooming the entire season; is covered with spikes 
of small white fragrant flowers, and is much used as an edging. Thrives 
best in sandy or gravelly soil; is self-sowing and transplants easily. 
Cutting back the bloom prolongs the flowering season. 
CALLANDRINIA (C. Menziesii). 6 in. A low border plant resembling 
Portulaca; flowers 1 in. across, opening only in the sunshine. Sow 
seed where the plants are to remain, for they are difficult to transplant. 
Give full sun, and a light sandy soil. Also red and yellow varieties. 
June and September. 
CanpyturT (Iberis umbellata, var. odorata). 1 ft. A self-sowing 
annual, bearing long spikes of pure-white fragrant flowers. J., var. 
Empress, has a more branching habit, like a candelabrum, with still

spring. 
GYPSOPHILA ELEGANS. 1 ft. A low plant bearing little cup-shaped 
flowers on delicately branching stems; is valuable as a dressing to other 
cut flowers; self-sowing and bears transplanting well. If seed-vessels 
are cut off it will bloom again in the autumn. Grows in any good soil 
or any location. June to October. 
Nasturtium. Dwarf (Tropeolum minus, var. Pearl). 1 ft. The
