NEW HARDY HYBRID RUDBECKIAS 



A few years ago a gentleman experimenting in plant evolution 

 began crossing the existing varieties of Rudbeckias. The perfection 

 to which a race of flowers can be brought by scientific skill 

 is shown by the results. A great variety of types and 

 color combinations were obtained. The latter range from 

 clear yellow to maroon and include such blendings as 

 chocolate with gold edge, blood red with yellow edge, 

 yellow with orange disk. 



We have obtained from him four varieties which will 

 be seen from the illustration are distinct in type as well 

 as color. The plants are of branching habit, 2 to 3 ft. 

 high, of easy culture, and thrive in almost any 

 situation. They are entirely hardy and bloom freely 

 through the summer and fall. 



We offer the set of four for $1.75, single plants 50c. 

 each. Plants from 2 inch pots ready March 1st. ^..
