HIBISCUS  SYRIACUS 
Althea,  or   Rose  of  Sharon 
Familiar  shrubs,  deserving  of  more  popularity 
than  they  receive.  Altheas  will  grow  almost  any- 
where from  Ontario  southward,  and 
their  abundance  of  bloom  comes  at  an 
almost  flowerless  time, — from  July  to 
tember.   There  is  a  wide  diversity 
uf  color  in  th(i  flowers  of  diff'erent  va- 
rieties, though  all  of  the  plants  are 
the  same  upright  character  and  grow 
about  12  feet  in  height. 
They  should   be  used  in 
every    shrubbery  border, 
are  valuable  as  specimens 
and  make  beautiful  screens 
for  hedges.    Altheas  are  one  of 
the  best  deciduous  hedge  plants, 
forming  a  thick,  stout  bush,  when  prop- 
erly sheared  and  trained. 
See  below,  names  and  descriptions 
of  some  of  the  best  varieties,  with 
sizes  that  we  can  supply.
