IMPORTED AIR-FLIGHT 
CHRISTMAS ROSES 
(Helleborus Niger Altifolius) 
The Miracle Winter Flower 
BLOOMS OUTDOORS FROM OCTOBER TO MARCH 
EXQUISITE BLOSSOMS ALL WINTER LONG! 
Just imagine—CHRISTMAS ROSES in December in your 
garden! (exquisite rose-like flowers known botanically 
as Helleborus niger altifolius). Freezing temperatures 
and snow won't harm them. Even in mid-winter, a few 
mild days will bring on a spectacular array of these 
miracle flowers. Their lush, deeply cut leaves are decor- 
ative and evergreen the year ‘round. Each plant stands 
about 8 inches tall. As autumn approaches, with its 
hints of winter, the Christmas Rose lifts its flower buds 
out of the ground to transform your garden into a bo- 
tanical winter wonderland. If a cold snap catches them, 
they'll freeze solid—BUT, when the temperature rices 
and the sun shines, they'll open as if nothing had hap- 
pened! Flowers stay showy for many weeks. They may 
be cut and brought indoors. 
GUARANTEED TO GROW—PLANT THIS FALL. Plant these Christmas Roses in a semi- 
shaded location where they will be protected from the hot summer sun. They grow 
best where they get summer shade—but winter sun. They'll thrive in any good gar- 
den soil. Ideal locations—close to (or under) evergreens, in wooded areas, around 
trees, in shady nooks next to walls. 
SENSATIONAL WINTER DISPLAY. 
An unforgettable sight! Plant these rare Christmas 
Roses as an evergreen border in, front of foundation 
plantings. Plant where everybody will see and admire 
them. Strong Plants, No. 1, with 3-4 Eyes. 
Postpaid: 3 for $3.75; 6 for $7.50; 12 for $15.00.
