BALSAM, 
After persistent hunting, we now have the 
pleasure of presenting to the public a most 
elegant strain of Double Balsam and it is 
with the utmost confidence we ask a trial 
of the same. Half-hardy annual, producing 
fine large double flowers in great abundance, 
requiring a rich soil and good cultivation; sow 
in a frame early, or in the garden in a shel¬ 
tered place; when safe from frost transplant 
to ten or twelve inches apart; pinch off a por¬ 
tion of the shoots, which will render the plant 
more vigorous and showy.— [Illustration .J
