CHRISTMAS ROSE> 
(Helleborus niger). Flowers in the snow. Not really a 
Rose, but the rare and much beloved Christmas Rose, 
which actually blooms from very late fall through Christ- 
mas time and right up to the spring, in the snow. Even 
in the very coldest weather a slight warming up with‘a 
little sunshine for a couple of days will bring these attrac- 
tive beauties into blossom through snow, ice and all kinds 
of conditions. The lovely five-petaled, creamy white flow- 
ers are set off by bright yellow stamens. The flower clus- 
ters 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 blossoms 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. Be- 
cause of wartime difficulties and their slowness in propa- 
gation, 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; $2.75 for 3; $8.50 for 10.
