JOHN LEWIS CHILDS, FLORAL PARK, N. Y. 
Rbdbeckia 
Jjjacipiata £L. pi., 
Goldep 
A hardy perennial plant growing 
eight feet high, branching freely, 
and bearing by the hundreds, on 
long, graceful stems exquisite dou¬ 
ble blossoms of the brightest golden 
color and as large as Cactus Dahlias. 
The cut represents a plant in bloom, 
as photographed. Mr. William Fal- 
-coner; the best authority on plants in 
this country, says of it : “When I 
saw the double-flowered form of 
Rudbeekia Laciniata in bloom in 
'your grounds at Floral Park, I was 
amazed, for I had never before seen 
a double-flowered Rudbeckia ; and I 
was delighted with the fullness and 
gorgeousness of the blossoms and 
their clear, bright yellow color. The 
plant you gave me grew vigorously 
and threw up strong branching flow¬ 
er stems, six feet high, laden with 
sheaves of golden blossoms as large 
as fair Chrysanthemums, and all 
having an elegant, graceful appear¬ 
ance, without any of the stiffness 
in habit or blossoms peculiar to sun¬ 
flowers. Many eminent florists and 
amateurs have seen it here and all 
admired it. As cut flowers the blos¬ 
soms last well. In fine, I unhesitat¬ 
ingly regard it as the most desirable 
introduction among hardy perennials 
since we got Clematis Paniculata.” 
It is the most effective flowering 
plant for August and September in 
cultivation. 
Strong plants, which will bloom 
freely this season, 15c. each; 5 for 
50c.; 12 for Si. 00.

“GOLDEN TREASURE.” 
Offered last Spring for the first. Not so tell 
as Golden Glow, but equally handsome. Fl6w- 
ers of larger size, fine form, and borne on long, 
graceful, stems. Color, brightest gold; the 
most aesthetic garden flower yet seen. Do not 
despise it because it is single. It is fully 
handsome and effective as Golden Glow, but 
entirely different. We predict for it as great 
a popularity as the wonderful Golden Glow, 
which we introduced five years ago, and which 
is still a sensation among new flowers. 2oe. each;. 
3 for 50C.; ^ for $1.00. 191

3 of each for 60c.; 12 of each for $2.00. 
Rudbeckia Golden Glow has now es¬ 
tablished itself the world over as the finest new 
plant of recent times. In England it has createa , 
a real sensation, and we have filled orders te| 
nearly or quite ten thousand plants for .th| 
British Isles alone. All the leading florists 
there now offer it as the most magnificent 
hardy plant in cultivation. .
