These exquisite and hardy plants deserve to be better known in this country. They are 
extensively cultivated in Europe, and we are happy to be among the first to introduce them 
here. They bloom a little later than Helleborus Niger. 
All Helleborus prefer to be left undisturbed in rich, well-drained loamy soil and in part 
shade such as that of deciduous shrubbery. Plant them where they can be seen and en¬ 
joyed from your window. 
PHLOX DECUSSATA— (Perennial 
Phlox) 
The hardy perennial phlox are most color¬ 
ful plants and should be used liberally in the 
perennial bed. They need good rich soil and 
plenty of water when blooming; part shade is 
good for them as too bright sun makes the 
flowers fade. Pinching back just before 
blooming will prolong the blooming period 
for about a month or six weeks.
