o.P. Impatiens Sultan! ( Geraniacece ), Balsam — One of the most 
distinct and beautiful of all decorative plants of recent introduction, and 
owing to its gorgeous colouring and profuse and continuous flowering is 
rapidly becoming popular. It is of neat, compact growth, almost a per- 
petual bloomer ; in the stove it is quite at home, in warm houses it does 
well. The flowers are of a brilliant rosy scarlet colour, a peculiarly distinct 
but most effective hue, and are produced so freely that a well grown 
specimen appears to be quite a ball of flower. Seedlings make dwarfer and 
more compact plants than cuttings, and flower with much greater freedom, 
commencing to bloom freely when only a few inches high. Small plants, 
with their brilliant rosy scarlet flowers, are always in request for decorative 
purposes, especially for dinner table and drawing-rooms. It is also verv 
effective grown into specimen plants. One was exhibited at the Royal 
Horticultural Society, measuring 3 feet G inches in diameter, of semi- 
globular form. 2 ft. Is. and 2s. per pkt.
