An Improved 
Large-Flowered 
Type 
(Helleborus niger altifolius) 
IMAGINE 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 right up until spring. This variety (H. niger 
altifolius) is much superior to the common H. niger. 
Grown by J. & P. from divisions of flowering plants, it ‘ j 
will bloom for you next fall. Once established should a : 
not be moved. 
Blooms All Winter on Mild Days 
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 lively center 
of yellow stamens. The luxuriant leathery foliage literally 
hugs the ground. The flower clusters are on 6 to 8-in. stems. 
Give it a protected location where it is partially shaded in 
the summer but receives winter sun.
