BALSAM (Lady's Slipper) [hA-18 in.] These bushy plants 

 deserve to return to the popularity they had years ago. 

 They are a valuable addition to the garden because they 

 grow well in partial shade, develop rapidly, and stand 

 transplanting when of good size. The double blossoms 

 borne on short stems nestle close to the central stalk in the 

 axils of the leaves. If the leaves hide the blossoms, as they 

 sometimes do, they may be trimmed back. The plants 

 require plenty of moisture.
