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) Each 80c, Three $2.00, Doz. $6.00, 100 $32.50 
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. 
Purity Each 80c, Three $2.00, Doz. $6.00, 100 $32.50 
A neat, evergreen, compact and low-growing plant with immense pure 
white flowers which cover the plant entirely when it is in bloom. 
This new variety is in our opinion the best of the dwarf Iberis. Its neat, 
compact habit and rich deep evergreen foliage make it an A No. 1 
edging plant for flower beds or along walks. Its uniform habit creates 
a very neatly finished little edging. 
*Sempervirens Each 80c, Three $2.00, Doz. $5.75, 100 $30.00 
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 
Discontinued in favor of Purity which is a much better variety.

Culture. All require a deep, rich, loamy and well drained soil and a 
sunny position. Not suitable for heavy or damp soils. Best planted in 
early spring.
