Htelleborus 
CHRISTMAS ROSE 
Helleborus altifolius (Improved Niger) 
Each $1.20, Three $3.30, Doz. $10.00 
Helleborus grow about 12 te 16 inches high 
and have handsome evergreen, palmlike 
foliage. Very leathery in texture and dark 
green in color. During December, January 
or February, depending on the locality 
where grown, they have large single white, 
bell-like flowers which frost does not af- 
fect. They last for a month or more and 
are produced regardless of cold or snow. 
For hardiness they cannot be improved up- 
on 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 spot- 
lessly clean. We offer nice 2-year-old 
plants of this rare variety.

This is indispensable in the garden for color effect; flowers are porcelain- 
blue; buds pink at opening. The plant grows from 1 to 2 feet high, bearing 
a panicle of flowers about 1 inch long in short pendent clusters. It is 
splendid for the open border or for naturalizing along the woodland path. 
It flowers from the time Daffodils are in bloom, continuing while the May- 
flowering Tulips are at their best. Use this delightful plant in quantities, 
as it is permanent and so helpful to create beautiful pictures, especially in 
shady places.
