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 a 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 of 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 fail 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 (Strong, 4-year-old field-grown plants) Each $0.75, Doz. $7.50

temperatures many degrees below zero. Its palmlike leaves are ever¬ 
green and of leathery substance. In December, January and February,

flowers which last for weeks, are produced regardless of cold or snow. 
Orientalis (Mixed colors) Each $0.60, Doz. $6.00 
Orientalis is known as the "Lenten Rose." The colors of its flowers 
range from pale green through white from pale brown to the deepest
