HELLEBORUS (Christmas Rese) 
This strange fascinator blooms in winter, cares not a 
hoot about the coldest cold. Culture requires a cool, moist 
shady position (in the shade of trees or among ferns) and 
soil must be woodsy (mix it heavily with leaf mold and 
three year old cow manure; stay away from lime or in- 
organic fertilizers). Plenty of water is required in summer. 
Helleborus spreads from the crown; plant at least 12 
inches apart. Do not move after the plants are established 
—they resent it, you’re almost sure to lose them if you do.
