Cult. The seeds of these plants should be sown on a mo- 
derate hot-bed in spring, and when the plants are about 2 or 3 
inches high they should be planted into separate small pots, taking 
care to shade them until they have taken fresh root, replacing 
them in the hot-bed, after which they should have a moderate 
share of free air admitted to them when the weather is favour- 
able, to prevent their being drawn up tall and weak; they 
should then be shifted from size to size of pots, until the plants 
have grown the size required, and when in flower, they may 
be placed in the greenhouse, where they will make a very shewy 
appearance, and seed freely. Some may be planted out, when 
young, in the open border in a sheltered situation, where they 
will flower, if the summer proves favourable. A light, rich 
soil, or a mixture of loam, peat, and sand, suits them best. 
Balsams are all shewy flowering plants, and are worth cultivat- 
ing for the sake of decorating greenhouses when the greenhouse 
plants are set out in the open air. Those grown in pots require 
to be often refreshed with water.
