EVERYTHING FOR THE GARDEN - Plants 
NEW HARDY HYBRID RUDBECKIAS 
A few years ago a gentleman experimenting in plant evolution 
began crossing the existing varieties of Rudbeckias. The perfection 
to which a race of flowers can be brought by scientific skill 
is shown by the results. A great variety of types and 
color combinations were obtained. The latter range from 
clear yellow to maroon and include such blendings as 
chocolate with gold edge, blood red with yellow edge, 
yellow with orange disk. 
We have obtained from him four varieties which will 
be seen from the illustration are distinct in type as well 
as color. The plants are of branching habit, 2 to 3 ft. 
high, of easy culture, and thrive in almost any 
situation. They are entirely hardy and bloom freely 
through the summer and fall. 
We offer the set of four for $1.75, single plants 50c. 
each. Plants from 2 inch pots ready March 1st. 
Rudbeckia, “GOLDEN GLOW” 
The most popular ever-blooming hardy plant grown. 
Covered during the season with masses of rich golden- 
yellow, double flowers, resembling Chrysanthemums 
very closely. It attains a height of from 6 to 8 feet, and 
a small plant set out in the spring will produce 
hundreds of blossoms. Price 15c. each, $1.50 per doz.,
