Freshly Dug — U. S. Grown 
CHRISTMAS ROSES 
(Helleborus niger altifolius) 
At last Stern's brings you the miracle winter flower (Christmas Roses) 
locally grown in the United States. Freshly dug they are guaranteed to 
live and bloom in your garden. 
Blooms Outdoors From October to March 
As autumn approaches, the Christmas Rose lifts its flower buds out of the 
ground to transform your garden into a botanical winter wonderland. If a 
cold snap catches them, they'll freeze solid—BUT, when the temperature 
rises and the sun shines, they'll open as if nothing had happened! In mid- 
winter, a few mild days will bring on a spectacular array of these miracle 
flowers. Their lush, deeply cut leaves are decorative and evergreen the year 
‘round, forming a wonderful background to the lovely white blossoms. Each 
plant stands about 8 inches tall. 
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 dur- 
ing the winter. Ideal locations—close to (or under) evergreens, wooded areas, 
under trees, in shady nooks next to walls. 
Certified U. S. Grown Plants 
Three to four big fat flower buds. Plants have big healthy palm-like leaves.
