Heuchera Sanguinea 
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 retentive 
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 fall 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-yr.-old, field-grown plants) Each 85c, Doz. $8.50 
Helleborus Niger is a dwarf growing hardy plant, able to withstand tem- 
peratures many degrees below zero. Its palmlike leaves are evergreen 
and of leathery substance. In December, January and February, depend- 
ing upon locality where grown, large, single, white, bell-like flowers 
which last for weeks, are produced regardless of cold or snow. 
Orientalis (Mixed colors) Each 60c, 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 tones of 
chocolate-red. Easier grown than Niger, very interesting plants for 
shady nooks. 
Orientalis, Irene Kroneman Each $1.00, Doz. $10.00 
This fine Hybrid Lenten Rose will be appreciated by those who love 
something different. Early spring it produces stiff, short stems with rich 
chocolate-brown flower clusters which look exceedingly artistic coming 
from between the handsome leathery evergreen leaves. Used as a 
boutonniere. Are often mistaken for some exotic Cypripedium. 
HESPERIS - Sweet Rocket or Dame’s Violet 
An old and popular garden flower much beloved and grown by our 
grandmothers. The flowers are very fragrant. 
Culture. Will grow anywhere, and freely reproduce themselves from seed. 
ant in early spring or fall, 8 to 10 inches apart in full sun or light 
shade. 
Matronalis Three $1.15, Doz. $3.75, 100 $18.00 
Fragrant, purple flowers in showy spikes. 2 to 3 feet. June and July. 
Desirable for wild garden, shrubbery or mixed border. 
Matronalis alba Three $1.15, Doz. $3.75, 100 $18.00 
A white-flowered form of the above named sort. Also sweet scented 
and fine in the border. 
HEUCHERA - Alum Root; Coralbells 
Neat-growing and graceful flowering perennials yielding an abundance 
of flowers suitable for cutting; effective subjects for the margins of 
borders, as edgings to walks, flower beds, and excellent for the rock 
garden. They have heart-shaped leaves and bear their dainty blooms 
in graceful panicles or racemes. 
Culture. Heucheras require a well-drained, fairly rich, and not too heavy 
soil, also a sunny position. Plant 6 inches apart in autumn or early 
spring. Each spring top dress with well-decayed manure. Lift, divide and 
replant every third year for best results. 
*Brizoides Three $1.25, Doz. $4.00, 100 $20.00

A lovely coral-red variety and lovely for the rock garden. 
*Rosamundi Three $1.45, Doz. $4.75, 100 $25.00 
We have carefully tested several varieties of Heuchera in all the pink 
shades during the past few years, and we find that this is the most 
desirable of the coral-pink sorts. It is a strong grower, not subject to 
any blight, and produces an abundance of fine coral-pink blossoms on 
tall, strong stems, which last over two months. 
*Perry’s White Three $1.25, Doz. $4.00, 100 $20.00

HOLLYHOCKS - Althea Rosea 
Handsome garden flowers full of sentiment and association with the past. 
Extensively grown not only in this country, but throughout the world; 
were originally derived from Althea rosea, a Chinese species. When well 
grown, there are no finer hardy plants in the garden than a good group 
of them in full flower. At one time preference was given to the double- 
flowered kinds, but people are beginning to realize that the single flow- 
ered sorts have a distinct beauty and charm of their own. 
Culture. Hollyhocks require a rich, generous, well drained soil. If in the 
least degree heavy, add plenty of sand and manure to lighten it, and 
should it be inclined to be too light, dig in plenty of cow manure with a 
little heavy loam. The plants must have full sun, and they show to the 
best advantage when grouped together in bold masses. As the plants 
grow 6 to 8 feet high, they must, of course, be grown at the back of the 
border, and they should be fully eight inches apart. Plant in fall or 
spring. 
Double Triumph Mixed Three $1.25, Doz. $4.00, 100 $20.00
