HELIANTHEMUM — (Sun- Rose) Showy, 
small evergreen shrubs, suitable for 
planting on walls and dry banks. Their 
only requirements are a warm soil and

varieties are grown from cuttings, guar¬ 
anteed to be true to name.

Christmas Rose, although in our warm 
Oregon climate commences to bloom end 
Nov. and continues through the winter, 
regardless of snow and ice. Large pal¬ 
mately divided leaves, standing upright,

to $2.00 each.

the same time as niger altifolius. Flow¬ 
ering size plants, $1.00 each. Large 
clumps, $1.50 to $2.00 each. 
Note — The Helleborus niger should be 
planted in the shade of a deciduous shrub 
or tree, receiving the shade during the 
summer months but being in the light 
during the fall and winter months. They 
will thrive in 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. They resent 
being disturbed after having been estab¬ 
lished. 
orientalis hybrids — (The Lenten-Rose) 
Called so on account of its flowering 
period being during Feb. and March, the 
time of Lent. Erect growing, 12 to 18 
inches, with very large divided leaves. 
The flowers, 3 to 4 inches across, are 
borne on strong, stiff stems, 12 to 18 
inches long. They come in a wide range 
of colors, white, pink, maroon, some with 
purplish or crimson dots. This species 
does not flower until the third season, 
and being of hybrid origin, it is impos¬ 
sible to tell color of flowers of two-year- 
old plants. So please do not order plants 
of separate colors in two-year-old plants. 
Two-year-old plants, 35c and 50c each. 
Large 3 yr. old plants, 50c and 75c each. 
We have a limited stock of separate colors: 
pink; pink, speckled; white, speckled; 
$1.50 each. Maroon or purplish-red, $2.00 
each. 
viridus —The very dark green leaves are 
divided into long narrow sections, and 
very frost-resistant. The petals of the 
rather small nodding, olive-green flowers 
have soft plum-purple tip. Very rare and 
fine. $1.00 and $1.50 each. 
HEMEROCALLIS —(Day-Lily) Excellent for 
naturalizing, especially along streams or 
moist banks of lily ponds or other rather 
moist shady places. Will thrive in the 
border if given an occasional watering 
during the dry months.

with fragrant, orange-colored flowers on
