Balcony Type 
We have added several valuable varieties to our list of this class, 
and we are sure they will do much to increase the interest in this 
group. Most Balcony varieties are of strong spreading growth and 
for this reason are most effectively used for outdoors where sum¬ 
mers are trying. They haven’t the compact habit of the Dwarf Hy- 
bridas, but the mass effect is fuller and more certain, with flowers 
considerably larger. Also popular for porch boxes and vases be¬ 
cause of their overhanging habit. Note that several of the new va¬ 
rieties we list this season are of more dwarf growth than the type 
and such should not be used where the overhanging effect is wanted.
