HELLEBORUS (CHRISTMAS ROSE). 
Few flowers during the dull winter months are more prized than the Christmas Rose, and few plants are of 
more easy culture. Established masses of Helleborus niger and its varieties (maximus and minor), if slightly 
protected when the flower buds have formed, the blossoms will expand with a purity as spotless as the snow. 
Maximus is remarkable for the largeness of its flower, robust dark green foliage, and early flowering. All the 
other varieties are interesting. Some are exceedingly beautiful, others highly ornamental or curious. We have 
brought together, from many sources, a fine collection, including sorts not previously catalogued by us, and these 
we oner as not yet having been proven as to the correctness of their nomenclature, there being much confusion

Azurcum, Jarrattii, Tricolor, Speciosum, and Pentaphyllum, are slender, graceful, and of’rapid growth : for neat 
trellis work or for globes they are the most charming plants in cultivation. Pentaphyllum and Speciosum are 
Hardy, the former succeeding in a sunny situation, and the latter requiring a moist soil and a sunless aspect : 
^o ypiyllum is also hardy, and in a sunny situation is one of the most decorative trellis plants in cultivation,

TUBEROSES. 
The flowers resemble the much-prized Stephanotis, but are more fragrant, and being perfectly double are 
more generally useful. If planted in succession, from the 1st of January till July, a constant supply of cut blooms 
may be had from May to December, while the conservatory will be constantly perfumed with the most delicious 
iragrance. / He roots are not sufficiently matured till late in autumn, and therefore cannot be supplied till December. 
Cultural Treatment as adopted by the growers for Covent Garden.— Pot singly in 5 or 6-inch pots, and 
p unge t le pots in a gentle bottom heat, withhold water till the foliage appears, then give it freely, and when the 
flower buds are developed, the plants may be removed to a cool house ; or grown on in a house with a high 
temperature and a moist atmosphere. Success depends upon a uniform temperature, and uniformity of 
mois ure in the house. I he bulbs intended for early flowering should be potted and plunged in bottom heat as 
soon as they are procured, and care must be taken that the temperature of the house never falls below 60 deg. The 
dry bulbs for successional plantings must be kept in a place where the temperature does not fall below 50 degrees.
