The Wiiitey Wonder Flower 
That Blooms in Your Garden 
From October to March! 
AN IMPROVED 
LARGE-FLOWERED 
TYPE 
Helleborus niger 
altifolius 
Roses in winter! Not 
real roses, Of course, 
but the rare and much- 
prized Christmas Rose. 
Actually blooms with 
the snows of late fall, 
at Christmas time and 
until spring. This va- 
riety (Helleborus niger 
altifolius) is much su- 
perior to the common 
H. niger. Grown by 
J. & P. from divisions 
of flowering plants, it 
will become established quickly and will bloom for you in the fall. 
Even when there is snow on the ground, it takes only a couple of mild days 
for this miraculous plant to produce its glacier-white blooms. The lovely 
5-petaled flowers are 2 to 3 in. across, with a center of yellow stamens. Strong 
6 to 8-in. stems hold blooms above the low, leathery foliage. 
The Christmas Rose is especially suitable for a protected place in front of ever- 
greens or shrubs because of its rich low foliage and the masses of unusual flowers 
when there is nothing else in the garden. Given a location whete it is partially 
shaded in the summer but receives winter sun, the Christmas Rose will form a 
broad low mass of handsome green. Once established, it should not be moved. 
Strong Field-Grown Plants, $1.50 each; 3 for $3.75; 6 for $7.50
