“I NEVER KNEW THE EARTH HAD SO MUCH GOLD— 
THE FIELDS RUN OVER WITH IT.” 
Lotus Untermeyer 
The golden blaze of Rudbeckia hirta (Cone-flower or Black-eyed 
Susan) flowering in the foreground seems a veritable personifi- 
cation of midsummer glory. It is never lovelier than running 
gaily so at will across the fields; best effects are often 
gained when the set confines of the garden are forgotten
