CAPT. EDDIE RICKENBACKER. Introduced by Holmes 
nurseries in 1950, it lived up to every claim made for it. We 
are more than ever convinced it is the most spectacular 
Hibiscus yet developed. Overwhelmingly enormous, dis- 
tinct “‘double cup and saucer’? bloom, combining brilliant 
orange to yellow saucer, shading to bright lush pink, and 
‘‘cup” of lovely twisted, tufted petaloids of pink. It is the 
“one in a million” Hibiscus. Only 100 plants this year. 
Price last year was $15.00! Now $3.00. 
Other new varieties not listed here, $5.00 up to $25.00.
