HIBISCUS SYRIACUS. Althaea, or 
Rose of Sharon 
Familiar shrubs, growing in almost any soil or 
climate below Lake Champlain. Valuable as 
specimens. Make excellent hedges when sheared 
and trained, forming a stout, thick bush. Such a 
hedge can be trained to any desired height. When 
allowed to grow they form fine and beautiful screens. 
Should be used in every shrubbery border. They 
flower abundantly from July until September, in. 
a period comparatively flow^erless. Althaeas are 
really one of the most valuable and useful of the 
deciduous shrubs. Below we give sizes with des- 
cription of best varieties and prices (except noted 
otherwise).
