♦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 
undisturbed. With a light, temporary frame placed over the plants so as to protect from the snow 
and ice, the blooms develop far more freely and perfectly.
