Shaded lawns are a problem. Mixtures for such locations 
should consist of varieties which will grow vigorously with little 
sunlight and in soils deficient in plant food and moisture. The

domestic and imported grasses. No better mixture can be 
bought at any price.

CHRISTMAS ROSE and LENTEN ROSE 
There are two distinct types, one, Christmas Rose, flowering in 
late winter, and the other, Lenten Rose, in spring. Both are valu- 
able 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 3-yr.-old, field-grown plants) 
Each $0.85 ; Doz. $8.50 
Helleborus Niger is a dwarf growing hardy plant, able to with- 
stand temperatures many degrees below zero. Its palmlike 
leaves are evergreen and of leathery substance. In December,

large, single, white, bell-like flowers which last for weeks, are 
produced regardless of cold or snow. 
ORIENTALIS (Mixed Colors) 
Each $0.60, 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. Can only be supplied 
in mixed colors. 
ORIENTALIS Atrorubrum 
Each $0.85; Doz. $8.50 
Atrorubrum produces deep crimson-purple flowers of slightly 
differing tints. They are most unusual, rare and choice Lenten 
Roses blooming in early spring. The flowers are as interesting
