IBERIS - Candytuft 
Although these plants are perhaps more generally grown in the rockery, 
they are equally appropriate subjects for the margins of herbaceous 
borders or as edging to garden walks. When in flower in spring and 
covered with a mass of snow-white blossoms, they add considerably to 
the attractions of the garden. They are of shrubby growth, with dark 
green, evergreen foliage. 
Culture. Grow in good, ordinary soil. Plant in fall or spring, 6 inches 
apart. When plants become straggly, trim them directly after flowering. 
*Little Gem (true form) Three $1.45, Doz. $4.75, 100 $25.00 
Dwarf, pure white flowers in June. Its uniform, neat habit makes it one 
of our best compact low formal edging plants; perfectly hardy. There 
is nothing much better for edging small flower beds. 
*Sempervirens Three $1.25, Doz. $4.00, 100 $20.00 
Covered with a sheet of white flowers in spring, completely covering its 
rich dark green foliage; a particularly fine plant for the border. Does 
well in light shade and therefore excellent as a ground cover in front of 
shrubs. May be used for edging to parks or walks. Little Gem, however, 
is more formal and upright for these purposes. 
Snowflake Three $1.45, Doz. $4.75, 100 $25.00 
In growth more compact than Sempervirens, the flowers are fully three 
times as large, covering the plant completely when in bloom. A charm- 
ing plant for edging walks or flower beds, as well as in the rock garden. 
Being all grown from cuttings, the effect created is beautifully uniform.

alizing and is a large, permanent planting. 
*Cristata Three $1.25, Doz. $4.00, 100 $20.00 
(Evansia.) A dainty native creeping species, only 3 inches in height; 
flowers rich amethyst-blue in May; a gem for a shady spot in the rock 
garden or an excellent ground cover under trees where it will form a 
solid carpet covered with flowers which are very lovely to behold.
