HOLMES Cream-of-the-Crop | 
Here’s the other kind of Hibiscus—the “own root” yva- 
rieties. They practically grow themselves in our Nurseries. 
No grafting—no nursing—we just put them in the ground 
and let Nature do the rest! 
Of course, we’ve years of breeding to tell us these kinds 
will do well. But because they require so little care, they 
can be sold at unusually low prices. Because they're low 
priced, they’re the kind the stores feature. Common—not 
nearly as exquisite in bloom as identical varieties offered in 
Holmes BUSH-FUL Hibiscus. 
Yet, only at Holmes Nurseries are ““Own-Root”’ Hibiscus 
grown in Dyna-Grow Compost, and as a result come to you 
fortified with greater growing, blooming qualities. 
Of the hundreds of ‘““Own-Root”’ varieties, we have been 
able to find only these to meet our standards.
