Boddingtou's Giant Hyacinth-flowered Candytuft 



Candytuft ( Iberis ) h.a. 



The Candytufts are among our best flowers for edgings, for bed- 

 ding or massing, for rockeries and for cutting. Several of the varie- 

 ties are fragrant, and all are profuse in bloom. Sow outdoors in 

 April, where they are to bloom, and thin well when the plants grow 

 about an inch. Sow again in a month, and late in July for fall flow- 

 ers. Give rich soil and water freely. Ptt qz
