'^HIBISCUS ROSA-SINENSIS AND 
HAWAIIAN HYBRIDS 
EVANS & BEEVES NUBSEBIES are probably the largest 
growers in the country of these beautiful and exotic plants 
and many of the new hybrids now on the market have been 
disseminated from our nurseries. We are constantly im¬ 
porting or originating new varieties and will release them 
from time to time. 
These beautiful plants can hardly be surpassed as flower¬ 
ing 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. All 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 satisfactory if kept starved for 
food and suffering from lack of water. 
The Hibiscus listed below are most of them new or com¬ 
paratively 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 five gallon containers respectively.)
