"WHEN YOU PLANT =. PLANT THE BEST® 
HIBISCUS AND OTHER PLANTS 
Our aim is to ship quality merchandise, because it is our sincere pleasure to have 
satisfied customers, 
This list of Hibiscus and other plants is mailed you in the hope that we will be able 
to supply your needs in these plants, 
We have been growing Hibiscus in Florida for over 10 years and we honestl: believe’ 
that our plants are superior in quality to most plants offered for sale in Florida, 
Through our experiments with the growing of Hibiscus over the last ten years we have 
the Know-How for raising Hibiscus, 
We have experimented until we have the right soil 
for the growing of Hibiscus, especially for Northern Florida and States where frost 
_. is liable to cut your plants back in the Winter, 
To have a plant that will make a quick comeback from a heavy frost it is necessary to 
grow from the start a plant that is hardier than plants grown in localities where no 
frost is to be found during the Winter months, This we do, by growing in scii that is 
made especially for Hibiscus, the plant that you buy from the Wilson Nurseries has 
been nourished and feed right from the time that it leaves the cutting be? 
axtil it 
reaches you, This means that you have a plant that has the strength to make a quick 
comeback after a frost, 
Our Nursery is always open to visitors, you are always welcome at the WILSON 
NURSERIES, come + see our Hibiscus and other plants in bloom, 
At our Nursery we have a Hibiscus Garden that is kept for the purpose of showing you 
the plants in bloom, in conditions the same as found in your own garden, In this bed 
we have about 170 varieties of Hibiscus growing, Grafts and plants on their own roots, 
These plants are grown the year around in the open ground, they have no more protection 
than they would have if planted in your own garden,
