RUDBECKIA. 
Golden Glow (new double). A 
glorious new plant, and one that will find a 
place in every garden here and abroad; of 
fine habit, vigorous growth, with early, con*

it will be found excellent also for cut flower 
purposes, inasmuch as the stems are long, 
and often carry a dozen flowers furnished 
with beautiful foliage. A large vase filled 
with these flowers is a beautiful sight. One

growth, long time in bloom, with flowers 
like large golden balls. We pronounce it
