Camellia-flowered Balsam 
QUEEN OF THE MARKET ASTERS 
This is also called “Queen of the Earlies.” It 
is very desirable on account of extreme earliness 
as well as profuse blooming and wide range of 
colors. The plants are of somewhat compact but 
branching habit, rather open and spreading, about 
sixteen to eighteen inches high, bearing on long 
stems from ten to fifteen finely formed double 
flowers of medium size.

BALSAM (Lady’s-Slipper) 
These favorite half-hardy annuals are of the 
easiest culture, but love hot 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 bushes 
thickly massed with large, rose-like flowers. 
Transplanting two or three times has a tendency 
to dwarf the plants into better shape and to 
make the flowers more double. Balsams are not 
often given room for perfect development; they 
will easily cover 12 to 18 inches of space each 
way. For the finest flowers choice seed is more 
than usually essential. We offer only the finest 
double sorts. iy 2 ft.
