Tfecct HARDY MALLOW 



ANNIE J. HEMMING 



Plant Pat. 835 



Considering that you can get two Peace Rose 

 plants for S5, \vc didn't believe that any herbaceous 

 plant could possibly be worth $5 each, but we have 

 been convinced! Of course, if you don't already have 

 the Peace plants, we should still advise anyone to get 

 them first, and other Roses, too. But this new hardy 

 Mallow or perennial Hibiscus is such a unique, hand- 

 some, showy, outstanding plant that it is well worth 

 its cost, we must admit. The blooms are huge, 6 to 

 7 inches across, of a gorgeous red, with handsome, big, 

 overlapping petals. Blooms during July, August and 

 September. A single 2-year plant bore 25() blooms in one 

 season. It is hardy to zero without protection; in colder 

 areas, mound with soil. Plants grow to a bushy 4 to 5 

 feet, with rich, dark green foliage of medium size and 

 without coarseness. Heavy plants, $5 ea. ; 3 for $10.
