BALSAMS. 



Wlien balsams are well grown, they 

 form quite an attractive feature in the 

 cool greenhouse during the summer 

 mouths, or for bedding, as their flowers 

 comprise many beautiful shades of 

 salmon, scarlet, rose, white, purple and 

 maroon. The blooms somewhat resemble 

 those . of a camellia, and some of the 

 blooms out-rival the camellia in beauty. 

 It is very important to secure " seed of 

 a good strain, and this can only be at- 

 tained by dealing with some good firm, 

 as cheap packets of any seed are very 

 dear in the long run. 



Cultural details are very simple, but 

 must have attention at the proper time to 

 secure good results. It takes from eight 

 to nine weeks from sowing the seed un- 

 til the plants come into bloom. The 

 seeds are best sown in 3inch pots, 

 placing two seeds in each, so that if 

 they both germinate one of them can be 

 removed to give more room to the one 

 left. The soil should consist of loam, 

 leaf-mold and sand, passed through a 

 lialf-inch sieve, covering the seeds over 

 with about half an inch of the soil, ajid 

 placing the pots in a little warmth, such 

 as a nearly-spent hotbed provides. 



When the seedlings appear, they will 

 iec|uire to be kept as near the glass as 

 possible, to keep them stocky and dwarf. 

 The next shift should be into o-inch 

 pots, using a more substantial compost, 

 such as turfy loam, lenf-soil and decom- 

 pos-ed cow-manuie. At each subsequent 

 potting the plants should be kept as low 

 down in the pots as it is possible to get 

 them. By this time the plauts will do 

 nen if placed in a cold frame, on a 

 damp bottom, closing the frames early 

 in the afternoon to retain a little sun- 

 heat, which will assist the plants in 

 making roots in the new soil. 



Balsams will require yet another shift 

 when the .5-ineh pot is full of roots; 

 S-ineh or fl-inch pots will suit for flower- 

 ing the plants in, using the same kind 

 of soil as before, but making it firmer. 

 When first ' potted in new soil, water 

 should be given with great care, but as 

 the pots become filled with roots they 

 require plenty of moisture, with -sveak 

 liquid manure once or twice a week.
