GRAFTED HIBISCUS 
There are hundreds of varieties of Hibiscus, including 
common, old-fashioned, new, hybrid, rare and imported 
ones. We try to maintain a collection of fifty to seventy- 
five varieties. Many of them have several different local 
names and some are numbered as well as named. For 
example, we have eleven varieties of Double Yellow, all 
somewhat different in flowering habit, growth, size of 
flower and bush. Each year we weed out the unpopular 
sorts and offer what we consider the best all-round plants. 
The single and double yellow are the most prized, and it 
is hard to maintain a big stock of them for usually the first 
flower sells the plant. 
Grafting fancy Hibiscus on common sorts, such as single 
and double yellows on single scarlet, produces a strong- 
growing, free-blooming plant. We exercise great care in 
selecting, growing, and handling our Hibiscus plants, and 
we pride ourselves that when you buy from us you get 
really superior stock, first class in every way. Do not con- 
fuse our plants with the cheap ones offered elsewhere. 
In most cases the best is the cheapest in the long run. 
Plant Hibiscus in well-prepared soil, supplied with 
plenty of humus and good drainage. They should have full 
sunlight and regular applications of fertilizer. For extra- 
choice bloom prune and spray as you do roses. All varie- 
ties are valuable for cutting; some of the newer sorts re- 
main open the second day. For hair ornaments, Baptisti, 
Kid Smarty, and Shirley Temple are especially good. The 
yellow sorts, Jane Withers, Stella Lykes, and Columbia 
are also very popular. 
Remember that Hibiscus are tropical plants. Select a 
protected location for them and always bank them up with 
Hibiscus bloom the year round.
