CHRISTMAS ROSE 
Flowers in the snow. Not really Roses, but the rare and much beloved Christmas 
Rose, which actually blooms from very late fall through Christmas time and right up 
to the spring, in the snow. Even in the very coldest weather, a slight warming up witn 
a little sunshine for a couple of days will bring these attractive beauties into blossom 
through snow, ice and all kinds of conditions. The lovely five-petaled creamy white 
flowers are set off by bright yellow stamens. The flower clusters come on sturdy, 6- to 8- 
inch stems and when cut in the bud stage and brought indoors, will enrich the home 
scene for many days. Planted in a slightly protected sunny place where they will not 
be disturbed, Christmas Roses will give many years of satisfaction and pleasure. When 
allowed to establish themselves, they will produce, as years go by, hundreds of blos- 
soms each season. Planted in front of your favorite evergreen they will give a low 
mass of lustrous foliage that is also evergreen and will tend to set off and enhance the 
whole picture. Because of wartime difficulties and their slowness in propagation, it is 
almost a decade since we were able to offer these in sufficient quantities. Now we have 
a goodly supply and they are available at reasonable prices. $1.00 each; $2.50 for 3; 
$8.00 for 10.
