Hibiscus or Althea. In July and August, when little else is in flower, 

 these bloom abundantly. There are many colors in our large assortment 

 of varieties. 



Hibiscus Syriacus. Althea, or Rose of Sliaron 



FA^^LIAR 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 different varieties, 

 though all of the plants are of the same upright character, and usualh- 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.
