CHRISTMAS ROSE (Below) 
(Hetleborus niger altifolius) 
Roses in winter! Not real roses, of course, but the rare and much-prized 
Christmas Rose. Actually blooms with the snows of late fall, at Christ- 
mas-time and right up until spring. This variety CH. niger altifolius) is 
much superior to the common H. niger. Grown by J. & P. from divisions 
of flowering plants, it will bloom for you next fall. Even when there is 
snow on the ground, it takes only a couple of mild days for this miracu- 
lous plant to produce its glacier-white blooms. 
The lovely 5-petaled flowers are 2 to 3 in. across, with a lively center of 
yellow stamens. The luxuriant leathery foliage of the whole plant 
literally hugs the ground. The flower clusters are on 6- to 8-in. stems. 
The Christmas Rose is especially suitable for a protected place in front 
of your favorite evergreen or shrub because of its rich low foliage and 
the masses of unusual flowers when there is nothing else in the garden. 
Given a protected location where it is partially shaded in the summer 
but receives winter sun, the Christmas Rose will form a broad low mass 
of handsome green. Once established, should not be moved; allow to 
spread, producing more and more of these lovely flowers each year. 
Plant this and you can cut flowers in your own garden all winter.

WHITE BLEEDING- HEART (4bove) 
Dicentra formosa, Sweetheart 
This lovely, delicate plant well deserves a place in every garden. It 
blooms heavily in the spring and continues to produce flowers all during 
the summer and fall. Few other perennials have such a marvelous period 
of bloom. The shape of the pure white flowers is similar to the old- 
fashioned Bleeding-heart, but they are a little smaller in size and far 
more delicate in appearance. 
Said by many to have the handsomest foliage of any garden flower. The 
light green, silvery leaves are almost transparent; they are especially 
neat, particularly graceful and fern-like with many deep indentations. 
Related to some of our daintiest but hardy woodland flowers, White 
Bleeding-heart grows luxuriantly in any reasonably good garden soil 
but prefers a continuous supply of moisture and slight shade. Splendid 
for planting in the foreground of perennial borders and rock-gardens be- 
cause it grows only 9 to 12 in. high. Plant generously with Viola Purple 
Heart, as in above illustration. This is a very unusual plant which 
we are proud to be able to offer to our many good friends and customers.
