GOLDEN GLOW. New Sass’ variety. Rudbeckia, Named in honor of 
Professors Rudbeck, father and son, predecessors of Linneaus at Upsala. 
Nat. Ord, Compositae. Those who are acquainted with the ordinary Golden 
Glow, will at once, when seeing this new variety, agree that here is a vast 
improvement. It grows as tall as 5-6 ft., has very double golden yellow 
flowers, that resemble the dalhia in form and substance. Much more re¬ 
fined than the old-fashioned sort, and makes a good cutflower. We sell 
large quantities of plants to florists each year, who grow them for cutting. 
PHLOX, .From phlox, a flame; in reference to the brilliancy of the 
flowers. Nat. Ord. Polemoniaceae. This interesting North Aemican genus 
contains many hardy herbaceous perennials, and also a valuable hardy an¬ 
nual. There are many low growing or creeping species that are very use¬ 
ful. The annual phlox, P. Drummondi, is a native of Texas, and discover¬ 
ed in 1835 by Mr. Drummond, a botanical collector for the Glasgow, (Scot¬ 
land) Botanical Society. The seeds were sent home, and the discoverer 
fell victim to the fever in Cuba, and died. For this reason, Sir. W. J. Hooker, 
and English botanist, named the plant Phlox Drummondi. 
The perennial phlox is one of our most valuable garden flowers, and 
new varieties are being constantly brought out. We list some of the better 
varieties. Prices; 20c, 3-50c. Dozen $1.60.

LILY. Lilium. From li, a Celtic word signifying whiteness; the lily having 
long been considered an emblem of whiteness and purity. Nat. Ord. 
Liliaceae. This genus comprises over sixty species, and is eminently dis¬ 
tinguished for surpassing loveliness, grandeur, and chaste beauty. It has 
been well said that in this family of plants, there are no poor relations. A 
collection of lilies is all than can be imagined desirable and perfect in 
flowering forms. They are found in many parts of the world.
