WE WANT ALL OUR FRIENDS TO TRY OUR SUPERB DOUBLE ROSE BALSAMS 



We recommend our superb Double Rose Balsams as the grandest and most beautiful Balsams ever 

 seen. The plants grow about eighteen inches high ; nicely branched, compact and regular, the 



flowers are extra large, frequently more than two inches 

 in diameter, perfectly double, like the finest roses, 

 and borne so thickly on the branches that the whole 

 plant seems a mass of bloom. Our seed is the very 

 best and contains the following lovely colors in splen- 

 did mixture : snow-white, rose-pink, rich maroon, 

 white-tinted flesh, scarlet, spotted, crimson, lilac, 

 canary-yellow, violet, solferino, etc. For best effects 

 start in seed bed and transplant in rich ground at least 

 two feet apart. Splendid mixed pkt. 6 cts. Also 

 following colors separate: Double White, Pink 

 and Scarlet, each, 8 cts. per pkt.

 very different from the common usually sold ; large double 

 flowers, clear bright colors— not equal to the double rose, but

 sirable annual ; grows about eight inches high and bears an end- 

 less profusion of single Daisy-like flowers, white and blue; ex-
