Cannell & Sons’ Complete Seed Guide, 
O ur 100-feet house was the finest sight of Balsams ever seen, and the many visitors to oar •' 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 middle of March, in pans, and place ou a brisk hot-bed. When the young plants.are up, pot off into .S-in. pots, shifting into larger size 
as they appear to require it, 6-inch pots being sufficiently large for the last shift. The soil best suited is half good strong loam, and half rich rotten man 'ire 
and leaf mould. A moist and genial atmosphere in a cold frame, expose fully to all the light and air at all favourable opportunities, and as soon 
as thejsoil becomes exhausted let them be well supplied with liquid manure twice a week, for it is impossible to grow them good without it.
