HENDERSON’S PICTURESQUE GARDENS 
Double - Flowering Rudbeckia, “'Golden Glow” 
This comparatively new plant, Rudbeckia laciniata fl. pi., is one 
of the very finest hardy herbaceous perennials for lawn groups, 
for the hardy border, or for garden • decoration. It grows 6 to 
8 feet high, and produces continuously during the late sum- 
mer months rich pure yellow double flowers, on long stems. 
The clump illustrated below contains three plants. 
A Shady, Hedge - Enclosed Garden Seat 
The picture above shows an inviting cozy retreat on a hot summer’s day; a comfortable 
seat under a large shade tree, walled in by a 
hedge of Arborvitte. The larger pyramidal 
effects at the corners and 
entrances was produced by 
planting larger specimens of 
good shape, and keeping 
the entire hedge trimmed 
to form. 
A Stone Seat 
This rather pretentious 
seat of stone is suitable for 
large formal grounds. 
While expensive, it is dur- 
able and elegant.
