Balsam • Lady’s Slipper Culture 2 
These favorite half-hardy annuals are easy to grow, but 
love hot summer sun, rich soil, and plenty of water. The young 
plants are quick, sure growers and, from seed sown in the open 
ground in May, soon form handsome bushy plants 134 feet 
high, thickly massed with large rose-like flowers. Trans¬ 
planting dwarfs plants and makes flowers more double. 
Double Camellia-flowered. The finest type of Balsam. Very 
large, extra-double camellia-like flowers in many colors 
and shining green foliage. They are splendid for bedding. 
The colors include lavender, rose, scarlet, white, and yellow.
