Candytuft (Iberis umhelleta) belongs to the Mustard family. It 
is a native of Spain, and takes its name from the ancient appellative of 
that country, which was Iberia. It is most excellent for winter use, grown 
in pots or in vases; and is also planted as a border in flower gardens. The 
flowers are white, purple or crimson, and some of them are very fragrant.

Then palaces and lofty domes arose; 
These for devotion, and for pleasure those.” 
Sir R. Blackmore. 
♦Offend not against propriety, and be not guilty of a breach of good manners towards 
anyone ; but at all times keep well within the bounds of that decorum marked out by the rules 
of Christian living.
