©UP Devs^ Perfection StPaiHo 



This popular favorite has been so much improved that the old-fashioned Lady Slippers or Balsams generally in culti- 

 vation bear no comparison to " OUR NEW PERFECTION STRAINS." They areunhesitatingly pronounced the finest 

 in existence. The plants are large and well balanced, with magnificent spil<es of bloom. Many individual flowers 

 measure 2^ inches in diameter, equaling Camelias in size, doubleness and perfection. We ofier twenty fine distinct 

 colors, which will be good news to Our friends who have been contenting themselves with two or three different varieties. 

 When Extra Fine Show Flowers are Wanted, Balsams should be started in boxes or hot-bed, and transplanted when 3 

 or 4 inches high, but they are generally sown in open ground, were they are to remain, and give excellent satisfaction.
