This beautiful plant is a hybrid between the Hibiscus and Abu - 

 tilon. It combines some of the characteristics of both, haviD;^ 

 leaves like the Abutilon and flowers resembling in form those c£ 

 some varieties of Hibiscus, though very much finer, while in it 3 

 manner of growth it is more spreading than either. The flowen 

 are 5 or 6 inches across, opening flat or saucer-shape, and in color a 

 clear, bright canary-yellow, with a black centre, which greatl.'- 

 heightens the effect. The plants begin blooming while quite smal , 

 and flower constantly, whether in pots in the window in winter or 

 bedded out in summer. The flower has such a peculiar beauty coix- 

 bined with its great size, and forms such a striking contrast with its 

 deep green leaves, that it catches every eye. From the interes . 

 which it has already created, it is safe to predict that it will become 

 a very popular flower. Per pkt., 10 cts.
