Helleborus Niger 
HELIANTHEMUM — (Sun- Rose) Showy, 
small evergreen shrubs, suitable for 
planting on walls and dry banks. Their 
only requirements are a warm soil and

anteed to be true to name.

niger altifolius (syn. maximum) — The 
Christmas Rose, although in our warm 
Oregon climate commences to bloom end 
Nov. and continues through the winter, 
regardless of snow and ice. Large pal- 
mately divided leaves, standing upright, 
make a fine foil for the large open white 
flowers, sometimes flushed pink, which 
are on 12 inch stems. Flowering size 
plants, $1.00 each. Large clumps, $1.50 
to $2.00 each. 
Note — The Helleborus niger should be 
planted in the shade of a deciduous shrub 
or tree, receiving the shade during the 
summer months but being in the light 
during the fall and winter months. They 
will thrive in a soil of rich loam, coarse 
sand, some peat moss and a top-dressing 
of well-rotted manure. Prefer a moist, 
but well-drained position. They resent 
being disturbed after having been estab¬ 
lished.
