BALSAM. 



This popular, well known plant 

 needs no description, but a word as 

 to its propagation will not be amiss. 

 The seed should either be sown in 

 the house, or, if in the open ground, 

 late in the spring. Transplant, out 

 in well euriclied soil a foot apart that 

 they may branch in all directions. 

 My varieties you will find very dou- 

 ble and many colored, the seed be- 

 ing saved from the latest and most 

 improved kinds.
