HIBISCUS (ROSA-SINENSIS) BRILLIANTISSIMUS. 
A superb variety with large single flowers of the richest and most brilliant crimson scarlet, flushed 
with orange. The flower is fully 64 inches across, spreading almost flat, but having a short-funnel- 
sheped base formed by the convergence of the bases of the petals, which are in that part stained with 
a deeper crimson, and overlapping each other so that they form a circular flower. 10s. 6d.

HIBISCUS (ROSA-SINENSIS) FULGIDUS. 
This magnificent variety, which was obtained from the South Sea Islands, is remarkable alike for 
the size, colour, and marking of its brilliant flowers. The leaves are broadly ovate, with coarsely 
serrated margins. The flowers are of very large size (5 inches in diameter), composed of fine broad, 
rounded, and beautifully undulated petals, of an intense carmine scarlet, paler and somewhat rosy- 
tinted towards the base, where on each petal is an oblong blotch of deep crimson, forming a blunt-rayed 
star in the centre of the flower. It is one of the finest varieties yet introduced. 5s.
