SUPER 
HIBISCUS 
CLOWN 
Hardy 
Hibiscus... 
The strain we offer are the magnificent hybrid mallows devel- 
oped by Wm. Henderson of California. They can be grown any- 
where in the United States from coast to coast, and from Florida 
to Canada. They are absolutely hardy and like the peony will 
last a lifetime. The huge flowers averaging 8 inches in diameter 
come in numerous shades of red, pink and white. Height is 4 to 5 
feet. For a spectacular display in late summer and fall these new 
hybrids are hard to beat. 
CULTURE: Any sunny location in rich soil with ample moisture 
throughout the growing season. Most effective if planted as single 
specimens several feet apart or in groups of three. May be divided 
in either late fall or spring. 
TIME OF SHIPMENT: Spring or Fall.
