RUDBECKIA HIRTA. 
Class. Order. 
SYNGENESIA NECESSARIA. 
A native of North America, from Vir- 
ginia to Florida: it has long been cultivated 
in our gardens, and is a beautiful perennial 
plant, quite hardy, flowering in July, and 
lasting long. 
It may be increased by dividing the roots 
in the spring, and will grow in any good 
light soil, either in a pot, or much more 
vigorously in the full ground.
