RUDBECKIA. 



COXEFLOWER. 



NEWMANII (Speciosa.) (3 feet.)— Flowers deep 

 orange with dark purple cone produced on long, stiff, 

 slender stems from July to October. It is very distinct 

 and pretty; most valuable for cutting. 



Rudbeckia. Golden Glow. 



GOLDEN GLOW (Rudbeckia laciniata H. pi.)— One of 

 the finest and most showy hardy flowers of recent intro- 

 duction. It grows five to six feet, much branched, the 

 upper portion being completely covered during July and 

 August with large, double, golden-yellow flowers which 

 resemble Cactus Dahlias ; presenting a gorgeous blaze of 

 color. It is of the easiest culture and succeeds in all 

 soils and under all conditions. Flowers have long stems, 

 keep well and are excellent for cutting. Useful for form- 

 ing hedges, the back of borders and for planting with 

 shrubbery, always striking and effective. (See cut.) 



MAXIMA. Great Coneflower. (3 to 4 feet.) — A 

 rare and stately plant with large glaucous beautiful foli- 

 age and great showy flowers of clear bright yellow, with 

 conical dark brown disc in center, produced freely dur- 

 ing July and August. Exceedingly effective among shrub- 

 bery or at the back of the border. 



Rudbeckia purpurea. 



PURPUREA. Giant Purple Cone-flower. — A strong, 

 bushy plant, two or three feet high, literally covered dur- 

 ing July, August and September with rich reddish-purple 

 flowers, usually about four inches across, with large 

 brown, cone-shaped centers, thickly set with golden tips. 

 The plant has handsome foliage and is attractive in itself 

 and when it blooms it is truly grand. Invaluable for 

 cutting. (See cut.) 



SUB-TOMENTOSA. Black Eyed Susan. (3 feet.)— 

 exceedingly showy and ornamental ; many branches 

 which are covered with a mass of brilliant lemon-yellow 

 flowers, having dark purplish centers, in summer and 

 early fall. 



TRILOBA. (2 to 3 feet.) — A wonderfully profuse 

 bloomer ; literally covering the plant with its bloom, dur- 

 ing August and September. The flowers are an inch 

 across, bright yellow with chocolate colored discs. It is 

 of bi-annual habit, but reseeds itself each year without 

 assistance. Splendid for cutting and of great value to 

 the florist, for cut bloom. 



Each, 12c; doz., $1.25; 100, $8.00. A set of six 

 varieties for 70c. 



York Co., Pa., Sept. 29, 1908. 

 In sending you enclosed order, I wish to say a few words in praise of the plants I received from you last spring. 

 They all did splendidly, especially the Hardy Phlox. A prominent nurseryman visiting me during the month of August, 

 when these plants had their second crop of flowers, could scarcely believe that they had been planted last spring. 

 Wishing you continued success. A. A. KNOCH, 



Campbell Co., K. Y., May 3, 1908. 

 Received flowers and vines in fine condition ; want to report that everything is growing finely in spite of the 

 fact that the weather has been quite unfavorable. Thanks for promptness.
