ing asters not coming into bloom until very 
late, but producing flowers so large, double, 
perfect in form and borne on such long stems 
that florists sometimes sell them for clirysan-

IJ I r* Touch-me-not. Balsams have 
I 111 been so much improved by cul- 
v tivation that, with good seed 
and proper care, a single flower is the exception now 
rather than the rule. The colors range from white to 
dark purple, and are either self colored or spotted and 
striped. Balsams are tender and should be started in 
boxes indoors or in the open ground when danger of 
frost is past. The plants prefer a rich, moist or even 
wet sandy loam, and must not suffer for moisture.
