1 THE CHRISTMAS ROSE 
It is HELLEBORUS NI- 
GER, The Christmas Rose of 
story, a fully hardy peren-

though quite sure. As with 
so many long-lived peren- ig 
nials, Helleborus is likely & 
to sulk for a year or two & 
after being moved, before § 
doing either much growing 
or flowering, but when the 
time comes, it will start § 
growing thriftily again. og :
