were considered. It grows a foot or more in height, with very many fine llowers on

of white, pink and red to deep crimson; the flowering season is long, and an ordinary

RUDBECKIAS, or Coneflowers. Of the unique flowers which we can all grow well, 
these are among the most useful, either for cutting or show. All have showy flowers; 
nianv sods have a long, cone-like center which usually is black. Rudbeckia, Golden 
Glow is deservedly one of the very best yellow flowers that we have. It grows from 3 
to 5 feet high, with very large blooms in bunches. Golden Glow seldom is seen really 
well grown because plants arc usually allowed to become too much mailed. The best 
treatment is to use only single strong shoots each winter and to di\ ide \-ery earl>- in 
spring. Such shoots will give more llowers lhan a crowded mass. 1 have had plants 
as high as 12 feet I offer fine plants, which 
will give abundant bloom, at 15 cts. each, or 
$1.25 per doz. 
Rudbeckia fulgida is of an entirely new 
type. The flowering stems are not over 2 
feet in height, and the large single flowers 
are rich yellow, with a splash of maroon. It 
does best in good soil in a sunny place, and 
should be divided every second year in the 
winter. This is not much work if you plan 
your beds a year ahead. Plants 1,5 els. each, 
$1.25 per doz. 
In Rudbeckia Newmani we have one of 
the finest of plants for a rich yellow mass- 
elTect. The flowering stems are 18 inches to 
nearly 3 feet in height, with many fine, rich 
orange flowers with black centers. For a 
most showy border plant a foot apart each

tractive way. It likes a rich, moisi soil aiid
