RUDBECKIA 



The Beautiful 

 GOLDEN GLOW 



THE MOST EFFECTIVE, MOST SHOWY 

 AUGUST and SEPTEMBER FLOWERING 



PLANT EVER CULTIVATED 



A glorious, hardy plant and one that ought to find a place in every garden. One who 

 has never seen it cannot imagine its beauty in full bloom, nor the wealth of blossoms it will 

 produce; flowers of the brightest golden color. Mr. William Falconer, the best authority on 

 plants in this country, says of it: "When I saw the double-flowering form of Rudbeckia 

 Laciniata in bloom in your grounds in summer recently, I was amazed, for notwithstanding my 

 long and intimate acquaintance with plants, I had never before seen a double-flowered Rud- 

 beckia, and I was delighted with the fullness and gorgeousness of the blossoms and their clear, 

 bright yellow color. You gave me a plant, and it was set out in good garden ground. It 

 grew vigorously and threw up strong branching flower stems 6 feet high, laden with sheaves 

 of golden blossoms as large as fair chrysanthemums, and all having an elegant.graceful appear- 

 ance, without any of the stiffness in habit or blossom peculiar to sunflowers. Many eminent 

 florists and amateurs have seen it here and all admired it. As cut flowers, the blossoms last 

 well. In fine, I unhesitatingly regard it as the most desirable introduction among hardy 

 perennials since we got Clematis Paniculata."
