BALSAMS (Impatiens Balsamlna Camelllse flore). 
Our 100-feet house was the finest sight of Balsams ever seen, and the many visitors to our “ Home 
of Flowers ” pronounced them grand, being so very double; but considering the number of plants 
grown, the crop of seed yielded is very limited. 
Sow in March, in pans, and place on a brisk hot-led. When the young plants are up, pot off in te 
2-inch pots, shifting into larger size as they appear to require it, G and 8-inch pots being su fficiently rnryo 
for the last shift. The soil best suited is half good strong loam, and half rich rotten manure and lea 
mould. A moist and genial atmosphere in a cold frame, exposed fully to all the light and air at all 
favourable opportunities, and as soon as the soil becomes exhausted let them be well supplied with liquid 
manure twice a week, for it is impossible to grow them good without it.
