BALLOON VINE (Cardiospermum) (Love-in-a-puff) [hA-C- 

 10 ft.] The numerous seed pods of this curious vine are 

 inflated pouches resembling balloons. It is a rapid growing 

 and graceful climber that should have some support for 

 best results. The small flowers are white. It succeeds well in 

 light soil. The botanical name comes from the white heart- 

 shaped spots on the black seeds which are often strung as 

 beads Oz. 30c; pkt. 10c 



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.

BARTONIA [hA-1 ft.] Though a native of California, this 

 plant should be better known in other parts of the country. 

 The handsome single flowers are golden yellow, and their 

 throats are decorated with bristling stamens. The gray 

 foliage is thistle-like and glistens in the sunshine. The plant 

 does not stand transplanting and does best in full sun out 

 of the wind. It prefers a dry spot even in poor soil.

BEGONIA [tP-1 ft.] The everblooming sorts we offer make 

 most satisfactory plants for bedding and are also used 

 largely in pots. They are of sturdy compact growth with 

 glossy foliage and are covered with a profusion of 

 bloom. They flower during an extremely long season 

 outside and if taken up will continue to bloom indoors. 

 While preferring rich soil in the sun, they will do well 

 even in shady spots.

 hghtful little plants are favorites for edgings, low beds, and 

 rock gardens. The leaves form a low rosette above which the 

 blooms are borne singly on quite stiff stems. The button- 

 like flowers are composed of numerous rows of tightly 

 packed petals that virtually hide the daisy center. When 

 established they are profuse bloomers for a long period.

 to be a special favorite. This one blooms profusely out- 

 doors in summer and autumn even in hot dry weather, 

 while as a house plant it blossoms well throughout the 

 winter. The graceful pyramidal plants with dark green
