RUDBECKIA 

 LACINIAT A 



PL PL, "Golden Glow" 



A HARDY perennial plant grow- 

 ing 8 feet high, branching 

 freely, and. bearing by the hundreds 

 on long, graceful stems, exquisite i 

 double blossoms of tue brightest 

 golden color, and as large as Cactus 

 Dahlias. The cut represents a plant 

 in bloom as photographed. Mr. Wil- 

 liam Falconer, the best authority on 

 plants in this country, says of 

 "When I 6aw the double-flowering"" 

 form of Kudbeckia Laciniata 

 bloom in your grounds in summer last year, I was amazed, for 

 notwithstanding my long and intimate acquaintance with 

 plants, I had never before seen a double-flowered Eudbeckia, 

 and I wasdeli^hted with the fullness andgorgeousness of the 

 blossomsand their clear, bright yellow color. You gave me a 

 plant last spring, and it was set out in good garden ground. 

 It grew vigorously and threw up strong branching flower 

 etems 6 feot high, laden with 6heaves of golden blossoms as 

 large as fair chrysanthemums, and all having an elegant 

 graceful appearance, without any of the stiffness in habit or 

 blossom peculiar to sun flowers. 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. " It is the most effective flower- 

 ing plant for August and September in cultivation. Strong

CLASSED among the fineBt of plants, producing hundreds of beautiful, pure white, double flowers on long 

 and upright stalks, which are delightfully fragrant. They may bo planted and cultivated in pots or in 

 open ground. If planted in the open ground theyshould not bo put out until the summer is well advanced. 

 It is a good plan to buy the bults early, pot ar.d keep in tho house until ihey have made quite a Utile growth, 

 and by thus doing the blooms will surely mature before frost. They becrin to flower in September, continuing 

 until frost. For flowering in pots late in t'.- e autumn, the bulks should be kept dry and cool until July; pot 

 them and place in a cool location. My select strain of bulbs has no equal, and will produce larger Fpikes of 

 elegant douhlesweet-scented flowers than any otherstrain oifored. Eammoth bulbs. 10c; 3 for 25c;
