BUDBECEIA, "GOLDEN GLOW. 



TBITOMA PFITZEBH. 



Rudbeckia, "Golden Glow. 



A glorious new, hardy, herbaceous 

 plant, and one that should find a place 

 in every garden. It is of fine habit, vig- 

 orous growth, with early, continuous 

 and immense blooming qualities ; it will 

 be found excellent also for cut-flower 

 purposes. The stems are long and 

 gracefully poised; the foliage is abun- 

 dant and ornamental. It attains a 

 height of from 6 to 8 feet, and a small 



Elant set out in the spring will produce 

 undreds of blossoms during August 

 and September, each one as large as a 

 fair-sized Chrvsanthemum. (See cut.) 

 Price, 15c. each, 4 for 50c, 9 for SI. 00, 

 12 for SI. 25. 



TRITOMA PFITZERII. 



Ever-blooming "RED HOT POKER PLANT." 



This new variety is a marvelous 

 Improvement over the old well-known 

 "Red Hot Poker" plant. It is a very 

 free blooming sort, flowering continu- 

 ously throughout the season. The 



flowers are large spikes of brilliant flame color, with long stalks grace- 

 fully poised above the rich green foliage. A bed of this in bloom is 

 a grand sight ; a border of it around Cannas is admirable ; scattered 

 throughout the flower garden it adds grace and brightness and is in its 

 glory when nearly all other flowers are seared with early frosts. The 

 roots should be dug up before hard frost and kept in sand in the ceiiar 

 during winter. (See cut.) Price, 30c. each, $3.00 per doz. 



HARDY DOUBLE ENGLISH VIOLET. 



This violet is entirely hardy, perfectly double, a deep violet- 

 purple color and most deliciously fragrant. It surpasses the well- 

 known "Marie Louise" Violet in richness of color, being many shades 

 darker, and far excels it in its delightful odor ; this is one of its greatest 

 merits. _ It is entirely free from disease of any kind, will grow and 

 bloom in any garden and in any situation. Nothing is more appro- 

 priate for cemetery plots than the Hardy Double English Violet. (See 

 tut.) Price, 1st size, 40c. each, $4. 00 per doz., $25.00 per 100. Young
