Bal&aDLi-Gljilds' perfection, {Camellia Flowered.) The gigantic flowers, double and perfect like Camellias and the wonderful profusion in which they are borne, lies been a revelation to thousands who never before knew what really good Balsams were. It is not an uncommon sight to see more than 500 of these magnificent large double blooms upon a plant at one time, the branches being perfect pyra- mids of bloom. The Balsam is one of the most beautiful and easily grown of all garden annuals. Seed may be start- ed under glass early or sown in the open ground about corn- planting time. A very rich soil is not necessary, out they like to have plenty of room, at least 18 inches apart each way. It is very hard to raise good Balsam seed, for they are in- clined to deteriorate rapidly, and very little good seed is sold. Do not devote time or room to uncertain strains. Per pkt.
