Candytuft (Iberis Umbellata) 



All authorities a^ree on the great decorative value of this 

 charming annual for beds, borders, etc., and the larger the 

 mass the better the effect. The plants grow about 12 inches 

 high and will succeed in any light, airy position. Seed may 

 be sown any time during the spring. They bloom in about 

 eight weeks from the time of sowing, and in order to keep up a 

 succession of bloom two sowings should be made at intervals 

 of about two weeks. For best results give each plant suffi- 

 cient space for full development, not less than six inches 

 apart and nine inches is better. While highly useful for 

 cutting, lasting well, and used extensively for this purpose 

 by many commercial florists, it is for their bright effect in 

 the garden that they are mainly grown.
