Candytuft (beris Umbellata) 
All authorities agree 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 sufficient 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.
