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 valuable for garden decoration because of 
their flowering during the dull period of the year. 
Helleborus altifolius (Improved Niger) Each 80c, Three $2.25, Doz. $8.00 
Helleborus grow about 12 to 16 inches high and have handsome evergreen palm- 
like foliage. Very leathery in texture and dark green in color. During December, 
January, or Feburary depending on the locality where grown, they have large single 
white bell-like flowers which frost does not affect. They last for a month or more 
and are produced regardless of cold or snow. For hardiness they cannot be im- 
proved upon and are able to withstand many degrees below zero. Helleborus are 
frequently grown in small cold frames on which the glass is placed only from 
November until after flowering sometime in February, the glass covering keeping 













the white flowers spotlessly clean. We offer nice 2-year-old plants of this rare 
variety. 
Orientalis (Mixed Colors) Each 60c, Doz. $6.00 a oe soe 
Orientalis is known as the ‘‘Lenten Rose.” The colors of its flowers range from sy ° 
pale green through white from pale brown to the deepest tones of chocolate- 
fed. Very interesting plants for shady nooks. Can be supplied in mixed colors 
only. 
Helleborus Altifolius 
Hemerocallis : Lemon ilies 
Beautiful hardy perennials belonging to the Lily order. For generations 
great favorites in all gardens, both here and abroad. The numerous 
species have long, narrow leaves and yellow or orange flowers, many 
of which possess a delicious fragrance. Very graceful and stately plants 
for the waterside, naturalizing in grass, or growing in the partially 
shaded border. 
o Culture. Any kind of soil will grow these plants successfully. They prefer 
partial shade, but do excellently in full sun. May be grown singly or in 
masses. Plant one to two feet apart in autumn or spring. Lift, divide and 
replant every third year to ensure the plants flowering freely. 


Hyperion Each 75c, Three $2.00, Doz. $6.00 
The giant Amaryllis-like flowers of Hyperion are citron-yellow and 
delightfully fragrant. It is one of the most prolific flowering plants 
ever seen. The stems are gracefully thin and have exceptional sub- 
stance, about 40 inches tall, carrying delicately sparkling clusters 
of flowers, the soft color of which “carries’’ a great distance. Ex- 
perts, as well as amateurs, consider Hyperion the finest pale yellow 

Hemerocallis available at a moderate price. Few plants surpass the 
lenin beauty and vigor of a well-flowered clump of this wonderful Day 
Uae Lily. It received an Award of Merit of the Royal Horticultural Society 
callis, of Great Britain. Its graceful arching foliage always looks handsome. 
Hyperion The flower buds open well in water. It is perfectly hardy, grows in
