in the center. This variety we find to be 



not only finer but hardier than the old 



white hydrangea. Thomas Hogg. Price, 

 25. 35, 5° and 75 cents. 



HIBISCUS SINESIS. 



This plant rivals the geranium in popu- 

 larity. A very good way to make them 

 bloom freely and to facilitate the lifting 

 in fall is to transplant each plant into a 

 pot two or three sizes larger than the one 

 it has been grown in, then plunge the pot 

 altogether into the ground, the soil to cover 

 the surface two inches. Then in the fall 

 the plant can be lifted without injury, and 

 being transplanted 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 either colors of crimson, red, yellow 

 and salmon. Price. 10c. each; large plants 

 15c and 25c.

 the extremes of heat and cold better than 

 most plants, and is not easily injured by 

 neglect. 25, 35, 50 cents to $1.00.
