The plumes are of a beautiful old gold colour, and delightfully sett and feathery. The plant is easily grown, and comes into bloom about May. Writing about this novelty, the " Home Garden " for June says:—" The golden plumes are, in our estimation, superior to any othjr ornamental grass, and would make a lovely artificial feather for a lady's hat. We predict a great Rale for the plants in the next few years." While the " Australasian "of June 10th, 18S9, says:—" The Fairy Grass of the Himalayas will become, perhaps, the most popular of all the ornamental ■pecjes." Aβ we predict a large demand for the Fairy Grass, intending purchasers should book their orders early to ensure their being fulfilled. Per plant 2s. AU __, v Rudbeckia, "Golden Glow."
