Iberis or Candytuft 
One of the most easily grown and showy 
of hardy rock garden plants. In growth, 
it forms a mass of semi-shrubby stems 
clothed with small evergreen leaves which 
are smothered in the spring with small 
white flowers, making a most charming dis- 
play. 
If planted with the perennial Alyssum, 
(saxatile) and mauve Aubrietia, an attract- 
ive combination is formed. 
All Iberis sempervirens thrive in a well, 
drained loamy soil. Where hanging plants 
are wanted, as on the top of a wall, they 
are ideal. They thrive, too, in the debris 
of an old wall or ruin or on a dry sunny 
bank where not many other plants would 
exist. 
Seed can be started early in the cold 
frame or planted in the open ground as soon 
as workable. 
I. gibraltarica is one of the most orna- 
mental of the genus. It is not so commonly 
grown and should be given a warm sheltered 
sunny location. J. sempervirens is a com- 
pact, carpet-like, pale mass, covered with 
small white flowers. 
ERINUS ALPINUS 
Plant Erinus alpinus with white flowering 
plants for best effect. It is a pretty creep- 
ing plant and especially attractive on high 
places in the rockery, between rocks where 
it will form “rivers” of bloom. Its flowers 
are a purplish color. 
It grows best in a light, well drained 
soil and will live longer if sand has been 
dug into the soil. Sow seeds either late 
in the autumn or early in the spring. It 
reseeds readily. It is native of the mount- 
ains of Switzerland and southern France. 
PERIANNIAL BROWALLIA. 
Browallia speciosa HOOK , (not to be con- 
founded with B. speciosa HORT.) Native of 
the Tolina Mountains in India; this is a 
semi-shrub, about 18 inches tall with very 
dark green lanceolate leaves and auxillary, 
deeply five-lobed dark blue flowers with 
white throat. They are not hard to grow 
and like a loamy, rather heavy soil and a 
shady location. Optimum winter temper- 
ature about 40 degrees F. or can be kept 
outdoors when a heavy snow cover can be 
expected before the ground is frozen.
