ing form of Rudbeokla Laciniata in bloom in your grounds 
at Floral Park, in summer last year, t was amazed, for not¬ 
withstanding my long and intimate acquaintance with 
plants I had never before seen a double-flowered Kudbeckia: 
and f was delighted with the fulness and gorgeousness of 
the blossoms and their clear, bright yellow color. You gave 
me a plant last spring and it, was set out in good garden 
ground It, grew Vigorously and threw up strong branching 
Sower sterns six feet high, laden with sheaves of golden 
blossoms as large as fair Chrysanthemums, and all having 
an elegant, graceful appearance, without any of the stiffness 
hi habit or blossom peculiar to sunflowers Many eminent 
florists and amateurs have seen it here, am all admired It. 
. ..... flowers the blossoms last well. In tine. I unhesitat¬ 
ingly regard it as the most desirable introduction among 
hardy perennials since we got Clematis Pauiculata. It. is 
the most effective flowering plant for August and Septem¬ 
ber in cultivation.
