etrating vermilion red and the showiest of this 
type. Ideal for edging plants, rock gardens and

Mixed. H. A. Since we introduced the new 
type, Bush Balsam Torch, there has been a de- 
mand for these flowers in mixed colors. We 
are pleased to offer this season a mixture of 
many pleasing shades of this very attractive 
flower. While the mixed colors are not as 
striking as the variety Torch, they are very fine 
for bedding and border planting. The mixed 
colors have a plant a trifle larger than the Torch 
measuring about 12 to 16 inches. The flowers 
are fully double and appear at the tips of the 
stalky bushy plants, Pkt., 10c; 2 pkts., 15c;
