Iasiocsrpus) and the (H. coccineus). This latter one is one of the most handsome of afl those mentioned and will give the beat results in this section of the country. Two new improved types of these plants are Meehans Mar- vel Maflows and (H. moscheu- tos), the flowers of which in some cases msy be as much ss ten inches in diameter. The most important thing to remember when planting rose- maflows is that they are a warm climate plant snd the location chosen for them should, there- fore, be where they wfll get EU the sunshine possible and also be protected from the cool even- ing breezes.
