RUDBECKIA, GOLDEN GLOW.

Fig. 1929. 



The above photo shows a Crimson Rambler 

 rose, climbing- up the residence of Mr. W. R. 

 Wright, Picton, Ont, The rose was a pre- 

 mium to Mr. Wright from the Picton Hort- 

 icultural Society several years ag-o, and has 

 been very much admired, the profusion of 

 bloom being so great, that "one could hardly 

 count the endless number of roses. 



Narcissus. — Of all bulbous plants these 

 are most healthful and varied in form and 

 color. They always bloom if given anjrthing' 

 like proper attention. In my window now 

 are three sorts. Paper-white, fresh and 

 dainty, comes first. On the pots I find 

 written "Planted Sept. 27th." Many of them 

 bloomed at Thanksgiving-, full and sweet. 

 The hyacinths planted the same day are only 

 little green buds above the soil. Some of 



the narcissus clusters have fifteen waxen 

 cups, and each bulb yields two or three 

 clusters. Another narcissus, blooming- a 

 little later on is larger and quite as sweet, 

 and pure waxy white. The Chinese lilies 

 put in water on the day the narcissus were 

 planted, are in full bloom for Christmas, a 

 creamy white with a deep, large golden cup, 

 and short, roundish petals. 



Planted outside in October the narcissus 

 blooms in early spring, some sorts with the 

 crocus; others with the first rose buds. 

 The bright yellow ones are lovely, there are 

 white double ones that look like Cape jas- 

 mines. The varieties are almost countless.

RuDBECKiA, GoLDEX Glow. — Talk not to 

 me of the glorj- of chr\-santhemums pro- 

 duced by care, for no golden chrysanthe- 

 mum was ever more beautiful than the double 

 puffy Golden Glow. The root which was 

 planted last year was given a stake to which 

 the stalks were tied. Lo, along came the 

 west wind and snapped off the stalks and we 

 had no blossoms. The roots were not cov- 

 ered during the winter, one which was so 

 severe that everything was killed but Golden 

 Glow. It sent up dozens of stalks in the 

 spring and made a rapid growth. Today it 

 is eight feet high with one hundred buds and 

 blossoms. We did not stake it this year and 

 the long, wiry stems, crowned with a ball of 

 concentrated essence of 'sunshine, toss and 

 nod most gracefully. Each flower is borne 

 on a stem by itself which makes it very 

 satisfactory for cutting. The foliage is scant 

 and does not crowd up the flower stem. 

 The buds are not pretty and give no promise 

 of the great beauty of the full blown flower. 

 For a most satisfactory and highly orna- 

 mental hardy perennial, one cannot too 

 highly recommend Golden Glow. — Park's
