THE LINDEN DAHLIA GARDENS 



WILLIAM P. HAYDEN, Rockland, Mass. 



The American white hellebore (.Veratram •viride), a 

 swamp-loving perennial plant noted for the beauty of 

 its plaited leaves in early spring 



and one of the keenest joys of returning spring 

 will be the greeting of this veratrum. 



The American white hellebore is cultivated 

 in Europe in bog gardens but is too common 

 in this country to have attracted the attention 

 of cultivators as yet. Hundreds of people 

 who admire its beauty in early spring wonder 

 what becomes of the plant. It sinks out of 

 notice in midsummer because its flowers 

 are small and green, and these are succeeded 

 by green fruits. The plant sends up a single 

 stalk three or four feet high but has nothing 

 attractive about it after the leaves have un- 

 folded. It simply fades into the greenery 

 of the woods.

The Art of Uncovering Bulb 

 Beds 



Every hardy border and bulb bed ought to 

 have a winter covering of litter, not to keep 

 the frost out but to keep it in if possible. It 

 is the alternate freezing and thawing of the 

 ground that kills hardy perennials, bulbous 

 plants and strawberries by heaving and 

 breaking the roots. 



Every beginner who uncovers his bulb 



Uncovering bulb beds in March. Keep the mulch 

 handy by for protecting the new growth on extra 

 cold nights
