CANDYTUFT 
These provide very attractive margins and edgings, and superb cut-flowers. A continuous supply 
may be grown by successive sowings, making the first outdoors in April where the plants are to bloom, 
thinning to stand 8 to 12 inches apart, allowing room for full development. They like rich soil and 
should be watered freely. They will bloom in about 8 weeks from sowing. Also see the Perennial List.

CARNATION 
These fine strains are classed as annuals, as they bloom the first year from seed. In favorable latitudes 
the plants will winter over if given protection, and will flower again the next season. If the seed is 
started between January and March indoors and transplanted to the garden in late May, at least 6 
inches apart, you will have blooms from early summer right up to frost. A sowing in April gives flowers, 
but not until fall. In the fall pot the plants and cut back, to bloom again indoors.
