Balsam - The Balsam, like the Aster, is one of the most beautiful and popular of our Annuals. Like that flower, too, it is a favorite, and so much improved during the last quarter of a century, that it scarcely bears a resemblance to the old flower commonly known as Lady Slipper; unsurpassed for masses, fine for ribbon beds or borders; flowers double as the Rose, and very striking in their rich coloring, ranging from pure white to rich, dark crimson.
