HIBISCUS 

These brilliantly-flowered shrubs have improved so much in the past few years, that many 
flower lovers will be surprised at the beautiful new Hybrids now offered by Select Nur- 
series. You need no longer be satisfied with the standard pinks and reds, although they 
are a garden favorite, quite hardy, and an asset to any garden arrangement. Not only do 
Hibiscus now show various shades of pink, red, white, yellow, orchid, orange, and amber 
with richly colored throats, but their foliage is so beautiful that they are entitled to 
great regard as a real aristocart of the garden. The various varieties have different 
foliage, some with large leaves, and others with rounder shapes and foliage more dissected. 
Hibiscus will thrive in any region free from heavy frosts, and are hardy down to 28 
degrees. However, even if some of the foliage is nipped by the frost, and often if the 
plant seemingly is frozen to the ground, the following spring usually will see it come 
forth again in all its glory. Although full sun suits these tropical shrubs best, they will 
produce fine flowers and grow well in light or filtered shade. 
Hibiscus are so brilliantly colored in almost undescribable colors, that it is almost im- 
possible to give you the real story on the shadings of our fine, select variety. The gorgeous 
blooms of the many named plants, all different, combine colors of the sunset in glow- 
ing shades, and that just cannot be described to our or your satisfaction. These fine speci- 
mens bloom throughout the season at the Select Nurseries, and for you to really appre- 
ciate the beauty of these flowering shrubs, you will have to see them for yourself.
