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 them 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 meri- 
torious plant. 
Prices for nice, strong young plants that 
will bloom freely this season, by mail, 10 cts. 
each, $1 per doz. Larger plants from 6 -inch 
pots, by express, ready to bloom, 25 cts. each,

MOONFLOWERS 
White ( Ipomcea grandiflora ) . A plant that 
grows and blooms with every one. If planted 
out in rich ground where it has full exposure 
to the sun, it will grow 40 feet high by the 
middle of October, blooming abundantly the 
entire season. The flowers are pure white, 
from 5 to 6 inches in diameter, emitting a rich 
jessamine odor at night. They begin to open 
about sundown, and close before noon the 
following day. 10 cts. each, $1 per doz. 
Blue ( Ipomcea Leari ) . This makes a 
splendid companion to plant with the above. 
The flowers are the most intense violet-blue, 
with reddish purple rays, and are (» inches 
across. There is nothing of its color that ex- 
ceeds in richness the flowers of Ipoma'a 
Leari. 10 cts. each, $1 per doz.
