HIBISCUS. 
HIBISCUS 
These free-blooming plants are unsurpassed 
for planting in the South; they bloom freely, 
and no more attractive bedding plant can be 
had. An entire bed of these plants will make 
a very showy effect, and at the same time 
does not cost any more than an ordinary 
plant; they can be lifted and potted in the 
fall, and kept in any pit or room where it 
does not freeze, and then planted again in 
the springtime. We recommend these highly, 
and we think our friends will feel well re- 
paid by planting these liberally, the single 
and double ones being alike desirable, and a 
good variation of colors can be had. The 
cut gives a very poor idea of this truly mer- 
itorious plant. Prices for nice, strong young 
plants that will bloom freely this season, by 
mail, 10 cts. each, 12 for $1. Larger plants 
from 5-in. pots, by express, ready to bloom, 
25 cts. each, 12 for $2.
