BALSAM, Lha. The old-fashioned "touch- 
me-not," bearing single red flowers was grown by 
our Grandmothers and appreciated as garden¬ 
flowering plants. Later, however, the double flow¬ 
ering plants were developed, and these have dis¬ 
placed the single-flowered and have become very 
popular, being more beautiful, showy, and coming 
in a great many colors, some pleasingly variegat¬ 
ed. The flowers are large and as double as roses, 
waxy in texture, admirable in beds and borders. 
They now stand near the head of the list of popular 
garden annuals, thriving in sun or shade in any 
rich soil, and. doing well in pots as well as in beds. 
Started in Autumn, they bloom in the window in 
Winter. I offer some of the finest varieties. 
Benary's Prize Camellia-flowered. This is perhaps 
the finest Balsam in cultivation, being a specialty 
with Mr. Benary, the famous seed grower of Ger¬ 
many. It is known as Camellia-flow'd because the 
flowers are not unlike Camellias in general form 
and appearance. Plants grovf 2 feet high, branch 
symetrically, and become little trees covered with 
elegant bloom. They are of easiest culture and 
are successfully grown, even under unfavorable 
conditions. Their beauty, attractiveness, free and 
continuous blooming and easy culture commend 
them to every gardener, and they well deserve 
their popularity. I can supply the following colors: 
White, Crimson, Scarlet, Lilac, White shaded Pink, 
Rose Spotted, Scarlet Spotted, Violet Spotted, 
Rosy Lilac, Salmon Rose, Chamois Rose, Separate 
or Mixed. 35 seeds 5cts. 
Dwarf or Miniature. Plants grow a foot high, branch 
and bear bright semi-double flowers in abundance, 
desirable for beds and borders, but especially for 
pots, being more dwarf and convenient for that 
purpose. Colors: White, Flesh, Vermilion, Fiery 
Red Striped, Rose, Violet Spotted or Mixed. 35s. 
Mette's Royal, 3 ft. These are very large-flowered 
and extra double, the plants branching and bear¬ 
ing freely showy flowers throughout the season. 
Glorious in beds in Summer and pots in Winter. 
The King, vivid scarlet, showy, rich, effective. 
The Queen, lovely satin rose, rare, charming. 
The Emperor, blue, exquisitely marbled white. 
The Princess, pure white, very large and fine. 
The Prince, yellow, a rare shade; very beautiful. 
Separate or Mixed packets, 35 seeds 5cts. 
New Flov^ering Bush. These grow 1 foot high and 
bear their flowers on spikes above the foliage. 
They are desirable for beds and are also showy as 
pot plants. The flowers are double and the spikes 
have buds in various stages of development con¬ 
tinue blooming for some time as they open in suc¬ 
cession. This new Balsam will be more popular 
v/hen its merits become better known. It deserves 
a trial. Colors: White, Rose, Red, Separate or 
Mixed, 30 seeds 5 cts.
