CHRISTMAS ROSE. 
(HELLEBORUS.) 
A Delightful Plant, of easy Cultivation. 
The white blossoms, which closely resemble 
those of a single rose, are produced in masses from 
the crown. 
They come in profusion, and with little effort, 
during the late fall if protected from frost. Hence 
the name of this popular flower is the Christmas 
Rose. 
They are quite hardy. 
For forcing, strong plants should be potted up 
early in the autumn in large pots, grown in a cool 
pit until they show signs of starting, then they can 
be retnovi <1 to more heat, and later to the conserva¬ 
tory or greenhouse. 
Alt* i downing in pots, they may be planted out 
in tin* opm, in a cool place, to mature their foliage* 
and v ill do a rain for conservatory decoration the 
following season.
