The Christmas Rose challenges the cold of New England winters 
Hellebo rus Niger • Christmas Rose 
A most interesting hardy perennial that blooms 
in midwinter. During mild weather one may see 
numerous large, white flowers pushing through the 
snow. It is well adapted to rockeries and does best 
in a rich loam mixed with coarse sand. A moist, 
well-drained, partially shaded situation is prefer¬ 
able. An important point is not to disturb the plants 
when once established, as they are very sensitive 
to frequent changes of location. Each

Salisburia (Ginkgo) adiantifolia 
Salisburia adiantifolia 
Ginkgo Tree 
One of our most interesting trees 
because of its ancient history. It was 
discovered in Japan in 1690, and was 
supposed to be a native of that island. 
The Japanese, however, claimed that 
it came from China at a very remote 
period. Probably it was first introduced 
into Holland around 1730, and from 
that country small trees were sent to 
England and then to America. 
In this country it is commonly called 
the “Maidenhair Tree,” and is desir¬ 
able for street and lawn planting. The 
form is slender, upright, often 75 feet 
high; leaves fan-shaped, in clusters of 
3 to 5. Seldom is the Ginkgo injured 
by insects or diseases. It has been used 
freely in Washington for street plant¬ 
ing, making picturesque avenues.
