MOON'S SHB-UBS 



HIBISCUS SYRIACUS. Althea, or Rose of Sharon 



FAMILIAR shrubs, deserving more popularity than they receive. Altheas will grow almost any- 

 where, from Ontario southward, and their abundance of bloom comes at a comparatively flowerless 

 time, from July to September. There is a wide diversity of color in the flowers of dift'erent varieties, 

 though all of the plants are of the same upright character, and usually grow from 8 to 12 feet in height. 

 They should be used in every shrubbery border, are valuable as specimens and make beautiful screens and 

 hedges. Altheas are really one of the best deciduous, flowering hedge-plants, forming a thick stout bush, 

 when properly trained; such a hedge may be kept at any desired height. 



See below, names and descriptions of the best varieties, with sizes that we can supply.
