Defiance Balsam, Lady Slipper. 
The most perfect in form and 'largest double-flowered Balsam 
yet developed, and by careful growth and selection, has attained 
a standard that will be found hard to improve. The mixture which 
I offer is composed in nearly equal proportions of eight colors: 
Rose, rose-white spotted, pink, scarlet, white-tinted violet, white 
spotted, Scarlet white-spotted and purple; each having been grown 
separately. Pkt, 50 Seeds, 5 Cts. 
Balsam, Good Mixed. 
A splendid strain, good colors and large double flowers; not 
equal to “Defiance,” but gives good satisfaction, pkt. 30 Seeds, 
3 Cents. 
Bird of Paradise, Poinciana Gillesi. 
The color of the'flower is a golden yellow, measuring 2% inches 
across, with shape as shown in illustration, and it is produced in 
very large trusses. The most beautiful part of the flower is the 
large pistils, which are spread out in fan-like form, and are of 
bright crimson color. The foliage is also highly decorative, re¬ 
minding one of a very delicate Acacia. If the seed is started early 
it will produce blooms in great profusion the first year. pkt. 15 
Seeds, 8 Cts. 
Balsam Apple. 
A beautiful climbing plant with apple-shaped fruit, which, if 
preserved in alcohol, makes a most useful liniment. Pkt. 10 
Seeds. 3 Cts.
