Candytuft dberis Umbellata) 



All authorities agree on the great decorative value of this 

 charming annual for beds, borders, rock, gardens, 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.
