Each plant 
ri should have a foot of space in the row. 
The Lady's Slipper is of easiest culture, 
It is also 
° adapted to pot culture and conservatory 
It is well to sow the seeds 
« rather thickly, in a temporary row, and 
then to transplant into permanent quar- 
ters. This makes the plants strong and 
stocky, and insures perfection of bloom, 
and the greatest number of double flow- 
ers. My belsam seed cannot be excelled 
in quality, and I recommend it highly 
for use in situations where a lavish and 
continuous display of color is desired.
