STANDARD FLOWER SEEDS. 



OtJK PEKFECTIOX 15AI.SAIVIS ARE UNSURPASSED. 



— The plants are large and \\t\l balanci^d, with magnificent spikes of 

 bloom. Many individual flowers measure 2% inches in diameter, 

 equaling Camellias in size, doubleness and perfection. We offer 

 fourteen fine distinct colors, which will be good news to our friends 

 who have been contenting themselves with two or three different va- 

 rieties. When Extra Fine Show Flowers are Wanted. Balsams 

 should be started in boxes or hotbed, and transplanted when 3 or 4 

 inches high, but they are generally sown in open ground, where they 

 are to remain, and this way give excellent satisfaction. I't^r Pkt.

Burpee's Defiance Balsams. 



We were fortunate in perfecting arrangements with the owners, who 

 supply us a stock of seed from the last and most improved crops. 1'he 

 spikes are filled solid from top to bottom, and the bushes are large, vig- 

 orous, well balanced and firm in the ground. This strain must be sold 

 at a high price, as the perfect flowers are so much improved in double- 

 ness and changed from the original in habit that they yield but little 

 seed. Many who do not usually plant Balsams will be delighted with 

 this new selection.
