 blight.

Balsam 



Aster, Semple's Branching 



Known as Lady Slipper and 

 Touch-me-not. Balsams have 

 been so much improved by cul- 

 tivation that, with good seed 

 and proper care, a single flower is the exception now 

 rather than the rule. The colors range from white to 

 dark purple, and are either self colored or spotted and 

 striped. Balsams are tender and should be started in 

 boxes indoors or in the open ground when danger of 

 frost is past. The plants prefer a rich, moist or even 

 wet sandy loam, and must not suffer for moisture. 

 Hardy annual; one to two feet high.
