A Sensation / 
(Hibiscus). Again we are privileged to offer a novelty following, in 
the course of the season, the coloring of a blazing autumn sunset. At its 
first appearance, the sturdy stems and the veins in the deep green 
shredded and cut leaves show red as the streaks in the sky when the sun 
begins to set. As the season progresses, the red becomes more noticeable, 
particularly with the bursting forth of the glorious, 8- to 10-inch, flaming 
ted flowers in August and September. In early fall the entire plant as- 
sumes the color of the sky as the sun sinks below the horizon. Everything: 
stems, leaves and flowers, show a glorious blaze of color. The huge red 
flowers, borne on stately, erect stems to 5 feet, are a show, but add to 
the flame of the whole plant, and no description is equal to it. Likes a 
sunny place and will grow in any fertile soil, particularly a moist, soggy 
spot. Plant 3 to 4 feet apart for best growth and display. $1.00 each; 
$2.75 for 3. 

















EXTRA SELECTED 
HARDYMUMS 
The most color for the least effort. Year 
after year, we discard, add and “boil down” 
our Mums to varieties we think will be best 
for our customers. If we listed all those 
available, this book would not suffice. 
Those we offer are tested at our nursery 
for at least two years and have proven 
themselves. You will never make a mis- 
take in buying your Mums at Cole's. 
NEW GLOW TYPE 
A new, semi-cushion strain of Mums 
forming a glow of flowers about 24% feet 
across. They will reach a height of about 
15 inches and produce quantities of vivid, 
2-inch flowers the first year. Blossoming 
starts in mid-September and the plants 
are beautiful for weeks thereafter. 
Apricot Glow. Rich shades of apricot, yel- 
low and pink on a neat, well foliaged 
plant. 
Fire Glow. All the rich shades of a blaz- 
ing fire including the vivid oranges and 
reds with an undertoning of yellow. 
Both of these varieties may be used for Sequoia 
low bouquets. Reasonably priced at 45c Winter Wonder Sunape
