HIBISCUS. (Virgil's name for the Marsh Mallow. 

 Nat. ord. Mallowworts [Malvaceae]. Linn. i6-Mona- 

 delphia. 8-Polyandria.) 



Hardy annuals, sow in open border in the beginning of 

 April ; tender annuals, sow in hotbed seedlings to have 

 out-door or greenhouse treatment ; hardy herbaceous 

 require dividing in spring, and a moist situation to grow 

 in ; hardy shrubs require an open situation fully exposed 

 to the sun, by seeds, and double ones by layers, by cut- 

 tings of ripe shoots under a hand-light, in autumn, and 

 kept on all the winter, and also by grafting. Greenhouse 

 and stove species are propagated by young shoots in 

 >andy soil, under a bell-glass, the stove kinds also re- 

 quiring bottom-heat, and the greenhouse kinds liking a 

 little too, after they have stood a week in the cutting- 

 pots ; peat and loam ; usual greenhouse and stove 

 temperatures.
