Herbaceous Perennials 
THE ELM CITY NURSERY COMPANY 
CHRISTMAS ROSE (Heleborus Niger). 6 to 12 inches. October to March. 
This very interesting plant really produces its flowers in the winter, out 
of doors. Daintily colored begonia-like blooms almost hidden in a clump of 
glossy evergreen leaves. It is best to select a place for this plant which is 
sheltered from the winds in winter and where it can remain for years undis¬ 
turbed. With a light, temporary frame placed over the plants so as to pro¬ 
tect from the snow and ice, the blooms develop far more freely and perfectly. 
Clumps 50 cents, other sizes see top of page 38.
