The brilliantly colored double 
rose-like flowers of this well-known border and 
bedding annual are thickly set along the branches 
of the erect bushy plants. The dainty individual 
flowers, often two inches across, are borne on 
very short stems and when cut they show to best 
advantage floating in a dish of water. 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. They do best if allowed eighteen 
inches apart each way ina sunny situation. 
Larger and more double flowers will be obtained 
if some of the young shoots are cut out when 
quite small, or by transplanting two or three 
times. Hardy annual; one to two feet high.
