Each 
*HELIOPSIS Scabra Gratissima —Flowers almost double, of a bright yellow. 
from July to September; 3 to 4 ft. high. Excellent cut flower.25 
:{:*HELLEBORUS —Hardy herbaceous plants, admired for their very early 
flowers, and also for their very attractive foliage. Will thrive in 
ordinary garden soil, but for best results use a soil of rich loam, 
coarse sand, some peat moss and a top dressing of well-rotted manure. 
Prefer a moist, but well-drained position, partially shaded during 
the hottest part of the Summer months. Shade of deciduous shrub or 
tree preferred. Resent being disturbed. 
Praecox Niger —The Christmas Rose. In our warm Oregon climate, com¬ 
mence to bloom during November and continue through the winter, 
regardless of snow and ice. Of rather dwarf habit, leaves and flower 
stems being from 6 to 8 inches high. Flowers open white, sometimes 
flushed with pink. Makes a good sized flowering clump the second 
season. Two year plants $1.00; large plants. 2.00 
Orientalis, or Hybridus. (The Lenten Rose, called so on account of its 
flowering period being during the time of Lent, February to April.) 
Erect growing, 12 to 18 inches, with very large divided leaves. Large 
flowers, 3 to 4 inches across, in white, pink, maroon, etc., many of 
them speckled red, brown or green. This species does not flower until 
the third season, and being of hybrid origin, it is impossible to tell 
color of flowers of 2-year-old plants. Please do not order plants of 
separate colors in 2-year-old stock. Two-year plants.50
