Hibiscus Syriacus. Althea, or Rose of Sharon 



FAMILIAR shrubs, deserving more popularity than they receive. 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 usually 

 grow from 8 to 12 feet in height. They should be used in every shrubbery border, are valuable as speci- 

 mens and make beautiful screens and hedges.
