HELLEBORUS NIGER. 



I can offer a magnificent lot of Christmas Roses, probably 

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

 riety, 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, 

 the 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. 



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. 



CAUCASICUS. 



A really serviceable variety, producing large, conspicuous 

 flowers, pure white, under glass. One of the most vigorous of 

 all the Christmas Roses, and one which will succeed in almost 

 any soil or position, flowering freely in the open ground in 

 January. Home-grown Clumps, Is., Is. 6d., and 2s. 6d. each. 



MADAME FOURCADE 



is a Gem, certainly one of the best flowers of medium size; snow 

 white, and produced in the greatest possible profusion, even the 

 very smallest possible flowering; of a good strong vigorous habit. 

 Fine strong Clumps for forcing. Is. Qd. and 2s. 6d. each. 



COLLECTED PLANTS. 



These are far superior to the ordinary stuff generally offered, 

 which are usually dried up and half dead before received, 

 being collected by inexperienced men; those uow offered are 

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

 lifted, and always do well.
