From low rosettes rise stout 
delightful perfume of Hyacinth. Though called Bog-hyacinth, 
and doing excellently as a bog or pool-edge plant, it will 
also thrive under ordinary mixed border conditions, provid- 
ing there is a little peat moss in the soil. Of course during 
periods of long drought it ought to have a bit of watering, 
but otherwise it needs no special care. 
It will likewise 
make an unusual and effective pot plant.

each $1.00; 3 for $2.75.) 
21 HELLEBORUS or CHRISTMAS ROSE 
This is the Christmas Rose of story, not a rose at all, 
but long given that name. The flowers are single, big 
shallow cups of pure white, or more often with delicate 
flushings of pink, or suffusions of rose. Exceedingly hardy, 
a few mild days will bring established plants into bloom 
in late winter; failing these, it will bloom in early March.

itself after being moved. Masses of attractive foliage. Light 
shade. Illustrated page 62. cbyl18. Pkt. 10c; % oz. 25c.

buff, gold, orange, and copper, with tawny shadings and 
ruddy overlays. Many will be fragrant, all are hardy. Seed 
is saved altogether from finest named hybrid sorts, or from 
high-quality first generation seedlings of such sorts. There 
should be wonderful variation in plants produced from it, 
from excellent to super-so. Hemerocallis seed grows with 
great readiness if sown before soil is too warm, either in 
spring or in late autumn. Day Lilies cut well, and always 
they are ornamental in the border. They seem to have no 
diseases, and given any chance at all, they will thriftily take 
care of themselves. ‘kt’? culture. Pkt. 20c; 1/ig oz. 35c¢;
