FUNKIA (Subcordata alba) + FRAGRANT PLANTAIN-LILY 
Fragrant, Vigorous, Beloved 
Occasionally an old favorite . . . beloved in Grandmother’s day . . . displays such outstanding characteristics 
that the Parade must stop and make a place for it. Perhaps you have admired the clean, rich green foliage 
of Funkia around the front porch of some hospitable house; its fragrance may have struck you as you walked 
up the front steps. Its long, tubular, creamy white flowers held themselves erect above the mass of green 
foliage. You have probably admired this useful plant without knowing its name, for it was once very 
popular and may still be seen around comfortable old houses where it has grown for years. 
Useful Near Houses as Foundation Planting 
Flower-stalk 18 to 24 in. high with fresh new bloom every day. Dark green, oval heart-shaped leaves 8 in. 
long and 5 in. wide. Clean, cool color during hot summer days. Particularly effective for planting near the 
house in the shade because Funkia grows in any location and forms attractive masses even where other 
plants will not thrive. Lives indefinitely, even under adverse conditions. Use near lakes or streams, as low 
foreground material in front of taller shrubs, or as solid beds along your boundary-line. Heavenly fragrance 
adds just one more reason you will treasure this lovely plant.

RUDBECKIA, White Lustre 
Gloriously crowned by a mass of unusually large white flowers, with 
contrasting giant-size, golden mahogany cones—a very hardy, in- 
teresting and different new plant that anyone can grow. Lavishly 
produces long, sturdy-stemmed flowers, ideal for cutting. Petals 
first grow upward, then straight out, daisy-like, for several days and 
finally, as the huge cones start to develop, bend gracefully downward 
remaining attractive without discoloring. Stiff flower stems resist 
heavy rains and winds. Healthy, dark green foliage. Very hardy; 
winters perfectly; seldom bothered by disease. Wonderful for beds, 
borders. Compact bushy plant, 21% ft. high. 
65c each; 3 for $1.75; 6 for $3.25

liven your garden with dozens of individual 
flower-spikes in June. A sure touch of cool 
blue for the border. Plants grow 20 in. tall; 
do well in either full sun or partial shade.
