Hints on Culture. - Balsams maybe sown from the beginning to the middle of April in pans or on a slight hot bed, 
in a light rich loam compost, covering the seed about half an inch, keeping the soil moist, but not wet. 
When the plants have formed the second pair of leaves they may be transplanted, four round the edge of a 
6-inch pot, and gradually hardened off for transplanting out of doors ; or they may be planted in a cold pit, 
4 inches apart, as near the glass as possible, giving more air as th6 season advances until June, when they m.ay 
be turned into the open borders, the warmest situations being the, most suitable. If for pot culture, they must 
be divided and transplanted into single pots, once or twice into larger pots, picking off the flowers in the 
earlier stages of growth to give greater vigour.
