BALSAM, SPLENDID DOUBLE KINDS. 
The Double Balsam is among our finest annuals. The seeds 
start readily, and the plants soon begin to bloom, and are showy 
throughout the season. The plants are easily transplanted, and 
should be set ten inches apart. They thrive in sun or shade, 
and are excellent winter-blooming window plants when started 
in summer and grown in pots. We especially recommend the 
Camellia-flowered Balsams, the flowers of which are as double 
as roses, and of the richest and most varied shades.
