Rushed from Holland via Air Express 
IMPORTED AIR-FLIGHT 
CHRISTMAS ROSE 
(Helleborus niger altifolius) 
Blooms Outdoors from October to March 
The miracle winter flower! Stern’s brings you the world's 
choicest freshly dug Christmas Roses imported from Holland. 
Thanks to Trans-Atlantic Air Express, you will receive your 
plants only a few days after they were dug in Holland. 
Exquisite Blossoms All Winter Long 
Just imagine—Christmas Roses in your garden in December! 
These exquisite roselike flowers are known botanically as 
Helleborus niger altifolius. Freezing snow wont stop them. 
Even in mid-winter, a few mild days will bring out a spectacu- 
ar array of these roselike showy white flowers with bright-as- 
sunshine yellow center. Their heavy, leathery leaves are dec- 
orative and evergreen the year around. The plants stand 
about 8 inches high and are ideal as an evergreen border set 
in front of foundation planting. 
Springtime is Best Planting Time for Christmas Roses 
Plant Stern’s Christmas Roses in semi-shaded location where 
they will be protected from the hot summer sun—but where 
they get warm sunshine during the winter. Ideal locations— 
close to (or under) evergreens, wooded areas, under trees, in 
shady nooks next to walls. 
Strong plants, No. 1. Postpaid: 3 for $3.75; 6 for $7.50; 12
