HIBISCUS ROSA-SINENSIS AND 
HAWAIIAN HYBRIDS 
These beautiful plants can hardly be surpassed 
as flowering shrubs in localities free from heavy 
frost. They do not as a rule receive the treatment 
in the ordinary garden which they deserve. They 
like plenty of sunshine, a rich soil, good feeding in 
spring and summer and an abundance of water. A 
good way to grow them is to make a basin in the 
spring around each plant, fill it with manure and 
keep the plant well irrigated during the summer. 
Grown in this way, the foliage will be green and 
lustrous and they will produce an abundance of 
gorgeous rich, glowing blooms. They are never sat¬ 
isfactory if kept starved for food and suffering 
from lack of water. 
The Hibiscus listed below are most of them new 
or comparatively new. The majority of them hold 
their flowers for two and three days where the old 
varieties did not last more than one day. Prices 
quoted are for plants in one gallon and four gallon 
containers respectively.
