Comal Springs Nursery, New Braunfels, Texas 
Altheas 
Grafted on hardy stock. 
One of the best hardy flowering shrubs that 
we know of, and most especially adapted to 
West Texas, for the reason that it blooms dur- 
ing the entire summer, even when monthly 
roses and other everblooming flowers are not 
in bloom. The flowers are not in the least af- 
fected by the sun in July and August, but are 
just as beautiful as they are in the cooler 
months. Price of strong plants, 2 to 3 feet, 35 
cents each, $3.50 per dozen.

opens well.

double.
