CHRISTMAS ROSE 
Helleborus altifolius (Improved Niger) 
Each $1.10, Three $3.00, Doz. $10.00 
Helleborus grow about 12 to 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.

emerocallis - dary Berita, 
Hyperion Each $1.00, Three $2.75, Doz. $8.50 
The giant Amaryllis-like flowers of Hyperion are citron-yellow and de- 
lightfully fragrant. It is one of the most prolific flowering plants ever 
seen. The stems are gracefully thin and have exceptional substance, 
about 40 inches tall, carrying delicately sparkling clusters of flowers, 
the soft color of which “carries’’ a great distance. Experts, as well as 
amateurs, consider Hyperion the finest pale yellow Hemerocallis avail- 
able at a moderate price. Few plants surpass the beauty and vigor of a 
well-flowered clump of this wonderful Day Lily. It received an Award 
of Merit of the Royal Horticultural Society of Great Britain. Its graceful 
arching foliage always looks handsome. The flower buds open well in 
water. It is perfectly hardy, grows in dry, wet, sunny, or shady places.
