BALSAM 



Dwarf Double 

 Torch 



960. Not since the intro- 

 duction of Guinea Gold 

 Marigold in 1933 have 

 we been so enthusiastic 

 about a flower as we are 

 about this charming 

 Balsam. Scarcely 10 

 inches high, it is liter- 

 ally smothered with 

 vivid vermilion, rose- 

 like blooms, and best of 

 all it is not one of those 

 particular flowers: it 

 grows equally well in 

 full sun or partial shade, 

 may be started indoors 

 early or sown out-of- 

 doors in May and even 

 at date of writing this, 

 October 20th, is still in 

 bloom. Truly a flower 

 for every garden. Pkt., 

 25c: 5 for $1.00.
