HELLEBORUS—Christmas Rose or Lenten Rose 
There are tw'o distinct types, one, Christmas Rose, flow¬ 
ering in autumn and winter, and the other. Lenten Rose, 
in spring. Both are valuable for garden decoration be¬ 
cause of their flowering during the dull period of the 
year. The Christmas Rose (H. niger) is the most popu¬ 
lar. All have leathery, cut leaves. 
Culture. Require to be grown in a cool, moist, shady 
position, such as under the shade of trees or among 
ferns. The ideal soil is a retentive loam, freely mixed 
w'ith leaf mold and well-rotted manure. As Heleborus 
are impatient of disturbance at the roots it is advisable 
to select a position for them where they will not be re¬ 
quired to be disturbed for many years. Planting may 
be done in fall or spring, 12 inches apart. Each au¬ 
tumn add a top dressing of leaf mold and well-rotted 
manure, and let it lie on the surface. In summer give 
plenty of water.

Niger 
Each Doz. 
Strong, 4-year-old field-grown plants $0.80 $9.00 .... 
Helleborus Niger is a dwarf growing hardy plant, able 
to withstand temperatures many degrees below zero.

flowers which last for weeks, are produced regardless 
of cold or snow. 
HELICHRYSUM—Strawf lower 
Most all are annuals. A few years ago, however, a 
perennial Strawflower was sent us from England, and 
has proven to be quite an attractive plant for the sunny 
border or rock garden. 
Culture. Good, rich, well drained garden soil in a sunny 
position suits them best. Plant in fall or early spring, 
8 to 10 inches apart. 
♦Bracteatum Three $1.40, Doz. $4.00, 100 $30.00

plant.
