New Double Rudbeckia 44 Golden Glow.' A glorious new plant, and one that will find a place in every garden here and abroad ; of fine habit, vig- orous growth, with early, continuous and immense blooming qualities; it will be found excellent also for cut-flower purposes, inasmuch as the stems are long, and often carry a dozen flowers furnished with beautiful foliage. A large vase filled with these flowers is a beautiful sight. Gardening says of it : In this month's Horticultural Trade Journal we read : ' A large, double flowering, Golden-Yellow Rudbeckia will be a leading plant novelty next year.' We are glad of it, for it is a good thing, and more elegant and beautiful than the double-flowered sun- flower (Helianthus Multiflorus, fl. pi.). We got a little plant of it last winter, and in the spring planted it out in the garden in good soil. It is now 6 feet high, much branched,the branches inclining upwards and in bloom. We liail it with delight as being one of the most distinct and beautiful large growing, hardy peren- nials that have been introduced for years. 25 , $ per doz. Spirea Anthony Waterer.
