UMBELLATA TYPE 
If you have grown annual Candytuft before and found it a poor 
seller, it is more likely that you had too much of the white variety. 
Try in its place a few of the colored varieties, such as Pink, Rose, 
Carmine, Lavender and Crimson and be convinced that this annual 
is of much use in the florist's establishment in the spring. It will take 
about five months to bring them into flower indoors. Plans may be 
made accordingly, taking into consideration the period cut flowers 
will be of most use to the individual florist. A good time for one planting 
is soon after the winter holidays, as space becomes available. Some 
growers sow the seed singly, planting out later at the distance of a 
foot apart. Valuable for cutting.
