OF NEW, RARE AND BEAUTIFUL PLANTS. 
*HIBISCUS CARDIOPHYLLUS, (New.) 
I have the pleasure of offering this extremely beautiful Hibiscus, which I have received 
from southwestern Texas. In habit it resembles an Abutilon. My plants were 
bedded out the past summer and succeeded admirably, flowering profusely during 
the season. © The flowers are bright scarlet, over two inches across, which makes it 
a very striking plant. A sterling MO WEF accagaaca cases csedancandan coasassso caasodene cosacoos: .
