Helleborus niser 
(The Christmas Rose) 
This interesting hardy plant can be grown 
in any sheltered position. Frost and snow 
apparently have little effect on its blooming, 
as whenever a thaw happens in the early win¬ 
ter, the flowers appear untouched. 
The color is white, suffused with pink, and 
if sheltered in a glass coldframe they will turn 
almost pure white, on stems from 6 to 12 
inches in length, flowers from 2 to 3 inches 
across. Extra-strong clumps, $10.00 for 10. 
Delivered free in September and October. 
Rodopel 
Protects Bulb Plantings 
Against Ravages of Rats, Mice, Moles 
and Other Destructive Rodents 
Rodopel is a new material so highly 
distasteful to rodent pests that they refuse 
to go near it in their search of food. 
It does not kill rodents but drives them 
away from the plantings. It is harmless 
to pets and birds. 
2-gaI. size (for 100 bulbs) $2.00 
5-gaL size (for 250 bulbs) 3.75
