IIELLEBORUS ORIENTAL IS, ami VIRIDIS, or LENTEN ROSES. 
The Hellebores in this section are quite distinct from Christmas Roses. The plants are taller, and 
generally with a bushy branched growth, so that when well grown specimens are in flower, they resemble great 
floral bouquets at a season when the temperature is too cold for most other plants to expand their blossoms , 
their colours range from pure 'white to deep plum-purple , with the intermediate shades of rose and pink , the 
petals more or less spotted ; they are distinguished from the section of H. viridis by the old leaves remaining on 
the plants till the new ones supersede them. H. orientalis and H. viridis are decorative during the Lenten 
season, hence the name ‘ ’ Lenten Roses" given to them by Mr. Barr when working the family into form some 
twenty years back. The varieties make Rood showy plants when grown in pots.

BARR’S HELLEBORUS VIRIDIS, or the GREEN-FLOWERED LENTEN ROSE. 
This section is distinguished by the leaves disappearing in autumn. The colours range from sea-green to 
dove-purple, and in winter and spring they are really attractive border plants, and charming when naturalized 
in woodlands, wild gardens, etc. In pots they form a distinct and interesting feature amongst flowering plants.

HEMEROCALLIS (DAY-LILIES). 
These are very ornamental border-plants, and admirably adapted for shrubberies and wild gardens. When 
the flower buds are opened in water, the bronzy tints change to a delicate apricot. H. Flava and H. Thunbergi 
have clear yellow flowers with a delicate perfume, much prized for bouquets. They bloom from Jane to August.

HEPATICA (0L1> ENGLISH FLOWERS). 
These are charming Spring flowers, and have been favourites in English gardens from time immemorial. 
Established on banks, in beds, borders, and rockwork, they are most beautiful in early spring. The Hepatica 
is a deep rooter and loves a deep loamy soil in somewhat shady and sheltered positions. Naturalized the 
Hepatica looks charming. H. angulosa has been awarded a First-Class Certificate by the R.H.S .
