HIBISCUS SINENSIS. — This plant 

 Rivals the geranium in popularity. A very 

 good way to make them bloom freely and

 then plunge the pot altogether into the 

 ground, the soil to cover over the surface 

 two inches. Then in the Fall the plant can 

 be lifted without injury, and being trans- 

 planted again, and kept in a shady, cool 

 place until fully recovered, it will, in a 

 warm sunny window, in a warm room, 

 bloom constantly. We can supply them in
