THE GARDENING WORLD 
the plants do best when kept as near the glass as 
possible. In building houses for plant growing, the 
pitch or elevation of the roof should just be sufficient 
to throw the water off properly ; and the plants will 
then get the full advantage of light. 
Candytuft. —Omega : For spring flowering make 
a sowing about the last week of August or the 
beginning of September. A further sowing may 
be made about the end of March and at intervals of 
a fortnight from that time till June. You can 
prolong the flowering period of each sowing con¬ 
siderably by keeping the seedlings well thinned out 
from the early stages onwards.
