CANDYTUFT (Iberis UmbeUata) 



The annual Candytufts are universally known and cultivated, 

 and considered indispensable for cutting. All the varieties look 

 best in beds or masses. Seed sown in autumn produce flowers 

 early in spring; when sown in April, flowers in June; succes- 

 sive sowings should be made at intervals. Hardy and easy to 

 grow. Single plants transplanted look well and bloom pro- 

 fusely; 1 foot.
