A NEW FLOWER

I t is our rare privilege and delight to wel¬ 
come many visitors—friends of the Harris 
Company—to Moreton Farm. While tramping 
around the fields and gardens, we stop now r 
and then in philosophic w onder at the gran¬ 
deur of nature’s bounty as expressed in the 
flowers. Many times we glow r with pride when 
our visitor savs: 
V 
“It must be marvelous to have this as your 
life work. Don’t you enjoy it tremendously?” 
Those questions in themselves repay us for 
the many hours that we spend trying to make 
the flow ers we grow as perfect, as beautiful, as 
strong, as man, with nature’s aid, can make 
them. Enjoy our work! More than you can 
possibly imagine. To be sure, it is a business, 
but is endless in its fascination. Our friends 
little realize the joy we take in watching the 
development of plants, the care that is exer¬ 
cised in the culture, the patience that dis¬ 
regards time, the satisfaction that comes w hen 
we know that finally we offer seeds of a flower 
that will bring joy to the heart of the gardener 
who may be only the owner of a humble flower 
box or a majestic estate or sunken garden. 
So many times during the past years we 
have been able to give to the world Harris 
creations, gorgeous blossoms, rare in hue, 
magnificent to behold. 
That joy in doing these things and 
passing on to you the splendid results of 
patient experimentation is evident in our 
new Rudbeckia Monplaisir, or its more 
homely name, My-Joy. This is a lovely 
new flower of deep, bright yellow, with a 
dark brown center. Another one of those 
vigorous plants, so easy to grow from 
seed sown outdoors. Reaching a height 
of 2}/2 feet, it blossoms through a long 
season. My-Joy flourishes like children’s 
laughter flourishes under any weather 
conditions. When you gather its color¬ 
ful blossoms and place them upon your 
table, they seem to radiate imprisoned 
sunshine. My-Joy is destined to reach 
new heights of popularity with gardeners 
everywhere. When you see it, we know 
you will understand why we have called 
it — My-Joy.
