RUDBECKIA, 
White Lustre 
(Right) 
Gloriously crowned by a 
mass of unusually large 
white flowers, with con- 
trasting. giant-size, golden 
mahogany cones—a very 
hardy, interesting and 
different new plant that 
anyone can grow.  Lay- 
ishly 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 at- 
tractive without discolor- 
ing. Stiff flower-stems resist heavy rains and winds.

FUNKIA subecordata alba. Fragrant Plantain-Lily (Above) 
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 long, 
tubular, creamy white flowers held themselves erect above the mass of green foliage. 

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 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.
