 *'•***'****• The brilliantlycolored 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 in a sunny situation.
