HELLEBORUS OR CHRISTMAS AND LENTEN ROSES. 
The Christmas and Lenten Roses are the representatives of Winter flowers. In the family there is great 
variety, both in the flower and foliage. On rockwork and in flower-borders established plants are highly decora- 
tive, covered as they are with blossoms at a time when outdoor flowers are scarce. 
From the H. orientalis section has originated some beautiful sorts, both in England and on the continent. 
The late Mr. Sauer, of the Berlin Botanic Gardens, made the most successful crosses of which there is any 
previous record, and the results have been fully described by Professor Koch. Mr. Frank Miles and other English 
amateurs who are engaged in hybridizing the Ilelleborus, should acquaint themselves with what Mr. Sauer 
accomplished. 
The new seedling varieties of the Orientalis section of Lenten Roses which we have catalogued are important 
additions, and will be found highly decorative in the flower garden, or cultivated in pots for greenhouse decora- 
tion. The nine varieties of //. orientalis figured in the coloured plate of The Garden, 19th July, 1879, fairly 
represent the family at that time. A supply of these coloured plates have been secured, so that any of our 
customers who have not seen the plate, and intend purchasing these plants, can have it forwarded free on applica- 
tion ; otherwise the plates can be had, is. each. 
Mr. Moore, Curator of the Chelsea Botanic Gardens, has been studying the Hellebonis family in conjunction 
with Mr. Barr during the past few seasons, and has issued with The Florist and Fomologist a coloured 
plate of new varieties, which we trust will be followed shortly by a popular monograph. In The Gardeners * 
Chronicle of 1879, Mr. Moore gave descriptions of thirty-five species and varieties of Helleborus then in flower 
at our grounds, and in April, 1881, contributed another paper on New Helleborus, and in the same paper, 1877, 
there is a comprehensive monograph by Mr. Baker, of Kew. In The Garden, 1878, there is a monograph, 
accompanied by a plate of Helleborus maximus. It will, therefore, be seen that this family has received consider- 
able attention from the Horticultural press.
