SUPER HEMEROCALLIS COLLECTION: Irom my large 
private collection of super-fine varieties and the above 
I will send 10 plants, 1 each of 10 varieties, labelled, 
$5.00; 5 varieties, $2.75. This is a super value. 
HELLEBORES 
HELLEBORES, Christmas Rose; Lenten Rose. Hurdy per- 
ennials admired for their attractive early flowers and for 
their handsome leaves. There are two quite distinct types. 
H. Orientalis Hybrids, the Lenten Rose, have many large 
palmate leaves, rising from a heavy root to make a bold 
evergreen clump, 18 inches high and as wide in old plants. 
Once established they continue for years. The flowers 
are in many beautiful shades and often 3 inches across. 
They last fresh for many months, here in California from 
October to April and in colder regions each milder spell 
in winter brings out the buds. I imported from Millet of 
France his finest varieties and these are now ready to 
sell. My collection of over 25 named varieties is doubtless 
the largest in America and-here conditions for their growth 
are unusually good. Cult.: They thrive in ordinary garden 
soil but for best results use rich loam and coarse sand, 
with a top dressing or rotted manure. A moist well 
drained, partly shaded situation is preferable. In Cali- 
fornia give rather deep shade. I offer the following Millet 
Hybrids: 
Corsicus. A species hellebore with orange stems and petioles 
and lance-shaped leaves with spiny margins. Flower opens 
green but usually turns pure white. A unique and striking 
plant. Each $4.00. 
Hellebore Orientalis Seedlings. From our finest named vari- 
eties. They haven't flowered but should give a fine range 
of colors. 3 Year, should flower next winter, Each $1.15; 
3 for $2.90. Smaller, 2 Year, Each 80 cts.; 3 for $2.00; $6.00 
per doz.
