Helleborus Niger 
HELLEBOR US— Continued. 
Joyce —Violet maroon on sturdy dark stems, 
the ivory colored anthers contrasting beau¬ 
tifully with the dark petals. Blooming size 
$1.50. 
These exquisite and hardy plants deserve 
to be better known in this country. They 
are extensively cultivated in Europe, and 
we are happy to be among the first to in¬ 
troduce them here. They bloom a little 
later than Helleborus Niger. The seed, like 
the seed of all hybrids, does not come true 
and our named varieties are from root 
division. 
All Helleborus prefer to be left undis¬ 
turbed in rich, well-drained loamy soil and 
in part shade such as that of deciduous 
shrubbery. Plant them where they can be 
seen and enjoyed from your window.

Lilies, are coming to the front again and

heat. A few dwarf ones are fine subjects 
for the rockery. They are perfectly hardy 
everywhere.
