 ers, three to five inches in diameter, ivory

 It begins to flower in July and continues with- 

 out interruption until late autumn.

IBERIS. Candytuft. 



Sempervirens. 8 to 10 in. A shrubby low- 

 growing plant with evergreen foliage com- 

 pletely covered in spring with clusters of pure 

 white flowers, producing a delightful effect. 

 Especially valuable for the foreground of bor- 

 ders and for rock work. 



Gibraltar. 10 to 12 in. — A variety of recent 

 introduction which appears to be quite an im- 

 provement upon Sempervirens, it having a 

 larger head of bloom and the individual flowers 

 being larger than in the type.

 variety. Its pure white flowers are larger than 

 in the other varieties and appear in lavish 

 masses during May and June.

Monroe Co., N. Y., Aug. 31, 1921. 

 Several years ago I purchased from you a number 

 of Strawberry plants. These have increased and I 

 finally have a bed of 30 by 15 feet of the most ex- 

 cellent Early Jersey Giant plants. The bed has always 

 borne bountifully and has really been the envy of neigh- 

 bors and friends. A relative who in years past was 

 engaged in truck gardening said he never saw such 

 berries.
