HIBISCUS  SYRIACUS 
HIBISCUS  SYRIACUS 
Althea,  or  Rose  of  Sharon 
Familiar  shrubs,  deserving  of  more  popu- 
larity than  they  receive.  Altheas  will  grow 
almost  anywhere  from  Ontario  southward, 
and  their  abundance  of  bloom  comes  at  an 
almost  flowerless  time,  from  July  to  Septem- 
ber. There  is  a  wide  diversity  of  color  in 
the  flowers  of  different  varieties,  though  all 
of  the  plants  are  of  the  same  upright  charac- 
ter and  grow  about  12  feet  in  height,  ex- 
cepting where  noted.  They  should  be  used 
in  every  shrubbery  border,  are  valuable  as 
specimens,  and  make  beautiful  screens  and 
hedges.
