THE CHRISTMAS ROSE 
*Helleborus niger 
Our Christmas Roses usually begin blooming 
after the first cold weather and snow in late fall 
and continue intermittently through the winter 
up to late March. They will thrive, bloom and 
look better when planted in groups of three or 
more in just an average garden soil. Choose a 
secluded and shady location near the home; 
tuck them in close to your favorite evergreens, 
azaleas, rhododendrons and similar shrubs. 
2-Year Potted Plants 
All Helleborus are grown from seeds by nurs- 
erymen. The general practice is to offer bare- 
root plants grown from seedlings but we have 
adopted a system of potting the choice seedlings 
and growing them on for another season. This 
eliminates all shock and risk of transplanting 
and assures you of more and better blooms in a 
shorter time. 
Christmas Roses: $1.50 each; 3 for $4.00; 6 for $7.50; 12 for $13.50
