beauty, sharply contrasting with the rather formal ap¬ 
pearance of varieties such as Orange King, etc. The color

tone effect. Well grown, Orange Shaggy has long stems

CANDYTUFT 
UMBELLATA 
This charming an¬ 
nual should be freely 
planted in all gardens 
for display or for cut¬ 
ting purposes. The 
flowers are borne in 
umbels and when the 
plant is in full bloom 
it is indeed beautiful, 
Beds or borders of 
solid colors are most attractive, and we suggest solid col¬ 
ors further for the reason that when one color is planted 
in a row or bed the plants are of uniform height, present¬ 
ing a most pleasing appearance. Local florists find it a 
most satisfactory cut flower, and it is planted quite freelv 
for that purpose. Seed germinates in 5 to 10 days, and it 
may be started in beds or flats and transplanted when 
several leaves are formed.
