Mallow Marvel Red 



{Hibiscus) 



Our strong roots will produce flowers the first year planted 



This charming flower is of more or less recent introduction, being an improyed form 

 ~ of the old native herbaceous rose mallows. The Meehan Mallow Marvels 

 were introduced in 1905, the first successful cross having been made in 

 1898. These were believed to be hj-bridized by H. Coccineus, H. 

 Miletaris, and H. Moscheutos. These are strong and profuse 

 ;rowers and are among the boldest subjects for planting in 

 ^remote borders. They do especially well in damp soil. 



general, the species present no special cultural 

 ^difficulties. We have a large stock on hand of 

 Mallow Mar\'els and the strong, 

 ^sturdy roots, which we are prepared 

 to ship out anytime after April 1st, 

 may be planted and will pro- 

 duce beautiful red flowers the 

 ^same season. We recom- 

 ^mend them to our trade,
