ALTHEA 
ROSE OF SHARON 
They are all of upright growth, reaching 
a height of 6 to 7 feet, with a rich foliage, 
and coming into full blooming by late 
summer and through fall. My varieties 
listed below include the finest colors 
available in Altheas. They are hardy in 
the Eastern states, here in the Middle 
West I give them a cover of leaves or 
straw over winter, and cut them down 
to 2 feet from the -round in the spring. 
With this care they come through the 
winter in fine shape, and make a good 
new bush form every summer, blooming 
well the same year.
