annual, others perennial or as shrubs. We are dealing here only with 
the Giant Mallow of recent introduction which is a tall plant about three 
to four feet high with immense white, pink or red, Hollyhock-like flowers, 
freely produced during the summer. 
Culture. A rich, moist, well drained soil suits them best. Best planted as 
single specimens in full sun in the border, or in groups of three or more 
on the lawn. Plant in fall or spring, 24 inches apart.

NEW SUPER GIANT HIBISCUS 
Blooms 10 to 12 inches in diameter. 
When, many years ago, the Giant Hibiscus were introduced, they created 
quite a lot of comment. The New Super Giants in many instances produce 
flowers which are 50% bigger or even more. A well grown plant with its 
immense flowers is quite a sight to behold. 
The varieties offered were all produced from selected plants noted for 
their size and freedom of bloom. Increase from divisions is slow but the 
results justify the extra effort. Give these plants ample room and grow 
them in full sunlight, watering freely.
