Hemerocallis 
Helianthemum Varieties 
HELLEBORUS - Christmas Rose or Lenten Rose 
There are two distinct types, one, Christmas Rose, flowering in late 
winter, and the other. Lenten Rose, in spring. Both are valuable for 
garden decoration because of their flowering during the dull period 
of the year. 
Culture. Require to be grown in o cool, moist, shady position, such 
as under the shade of trees or among ferns. The ideal soil is a reten¬ 
tive loam, freely mixed with leaf mold and well-rotted manure. As 
Helleborus are impatient ot disturbance at the roots it is advisable 
to select a position for them where they will not be required to be 
disturbed for many years. Planting may be done in fall or spring, 12 
inches apart. Each autumn 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. Its palmlike leaves are ever¬ 
green and of leathery substance. In December, January and February, 
depending upon locality where grown, large, single, white, bell-like 
flowers which last for weeks, are produced regardless of cold or snow. 
Orientalis. Each Doz. 
Mixed colors $0.50 $5.00 
Orientalis is known as the "Lenten Rose." The colors of its flowers 
range from pale green through white from pale brown to the deepest 
tones of chocolate-red. Easier grown than Niger, very interesting plants 
for shady nooks. Can only be supplied in mixed colors. 
HEUCHERA - Alum Root; Coralbells 
Neat-growing and graceful flowering perennials yielding an abundance 
of flowers suitable for cutting; effective subjects for the margins of 
borders, as edgings to walks, flower beds, and excellent for the rock 
garden. They have heart-shaped leaves and bear their dainty blooms 
in graceful panicles or racemes. 
Culture. Heucheras require a well-drained, fairly rich, and not too 
heavy soil, also a sunny position. Plant 6 inches apart in autumn or 
early spring. Each spring top dress with well-decayed manure. Lift, 
divide and replant every third year for best results.

on tall, strong stems, which last over two months.
