HELLEBORUS NIGER, 



OR CHRISTMAS ROSES. 



I can offer a magnificent lot of Christmas Roses, probably the 

 finest lot in the Trade, especially of the H.niger major variety, 

 which is the great favourite among market growers. These 

 now offered are home-grown clumps full of flower-buds, and 

 will be ready to lift in October ; and I would advise early orders 

 to secure them, as the stock of fine clumps is very limited. 



MAXIMUS. 



A robust variety, the largest of the group, and very orna- 

 mental as a foliage plant. It flowers in October and November, 

 thfi blossoms are large and white, shaded with rose on the 

 exterior, and generally produced in twos, but if shaded or a 

 glass placed over the plants, the flowers are then pure white. 

 By shading the flowers can be retarded even to December. It 

 is the most vigorous of the section, and succeeds where many 

 of the others fail to grow. 



MAJOR. 



Although this plant is frequently offered, it is seldom to be 

 obtained true to name, owing to its great value for cutting 

 purposes. The flowers are pure white under glass, but have a 

 slight rosy tinge in the open ; it is the greatest favourite 

 among market growers, producing flowers from December to 

 January. It is a grand variety for potting, the foliage is so 

 close and compact, and the flowers abundant. 



RUBRA, 



One of the most distinct and novel of this group. The flowers 

 are large, produced about the end of January, and of a lovely 

 colour. It is a robust grower, free blooming, and a decided 

 acquisition for cutting. 



RIVERSTONI. 



A fine distinct variety, somewhat in the way of H. maxima, 

 but with smaller foliage, yet a strong robust variety. The 

 flowers are produced in pairs, pure white, and blooming in the 

 open at Christmas, a little earlier than major and later than 

 maximus, thus forming a nice succession, and will be found a 

 fine addition to our list of these useful winter-blooming plants. 



COLLECTED PLANTS. 



These are far superior to the ordinary stuff generally offered, 

 which are usually dried up and half dead before received, 

 beiDg collected by inexperienced men ; those now offered are 

 fine healthy plants, and usually are as fresh as when first 

 lifted, and always do well.
