Wm. H. Henderson's New Giant Hybrid Hibiscus 
The Hibiscus offered were developed from a hardy longlived branch of the Hibiscus family. 
They are resistant to extreme cold and can be grown in the colder sections of the U. S. They require 
no winter protection of any kind. Only the simplest culture is needed. I can recommend them very 
highly for long and colorful display in the garden. All plants bloom well the first year planted.
