Rudbeckia paciqiata, fl. pi., “ ( jOldeif Glow'.’’ 
Offered for the first time last year. A hardy perennial plant growing eight feet high, 
'it.inching freely, and bearing by the hundreds, on long, graceful stems, exquisite double blos- 
oms of the brightest golden color and as large as Cactus Dahlias. Mr. William Falconer, the 
T»est authority on plants in this country, says of it: “When I saw the double-flowering form of 
Kudbeckia Laciniata in bloom in your grounds at Floral Park, in summer last year, I was amazed, 
lor notwithstanding my long and intimate aquaintance with plants I had never before seen a 
• louble-flowered Rudbeckia; and I was delighted with the fulness and gorgeousness of the blos¬ 
soms and their clear, bright yellow color. You gave me a plant last spring and it was set out in 
good garden ground. It grew vigorously and threw up strong branching flower stems six feet 
<iigh, laden with sheaves of golden blossoms as large as fair Chrysanthemums, and all having an 
elegant graceful appearance, without any of the stiffness in habit or blossom peculiar to sun¬ 
flowers. Many eminent florists and amateurs have seen it here, and all admired it. As cut 
flowers the blossoms last well. In fine, I unhesitatingly regard it as the most desirable intro¬ 
duction among hardy perennials since we got Clematis Paniculata.” It is the most effective 
flowering plant for August and September in cultivation. 
Strong plants, which will bloom freely this season, 20c. each; 3 for 50c.; 8 for $1.00 ; 20 for 
$2.00; 50 for $4.00. _ 
j\stei* y\lpina, or glde l')aisy. 
One of the most charming hardy perennial plants we have ever seen. Its flowers are borne 
ul profusion early in spring (May in this latitude) and are the size of a large wild Daisy, abouc 3 
aches across; composed of a double row of intensely blue petals, surrounding a golden yellow 
enter. It is double the size of any other hardy Aster, and closeLy resembles a large Paris Daisy 
111 shape and general appearance. The plant is of a dwarf, compact habit with luxuriant and 
handsome foliage. In short, it must be classed with Rudbeckia Golden Glow as a hardy per- 
'•nnial which has no superior, and few equals. Price, 50c. each; $5.00 per dozen. 
Floral Park Lawn Grass 
(QUICK CROWING.) 
Fine lawns, grass patches or grass borders 
uld to the beauty of a place almost or quite as 
much as flowers. In fact, a certain amount of 
good grass is essential to the proper display of 
tlower beds and borders. The next important 
ihing to good grass sward is to get it quick. 
We have at last prepared a grass mixture which 
will give a good sward the first summer, we may 
say immediately, for it grows up quickly and 
completely covers the ground in a few weeks. It 
s the same as was used in laying out Floral Park, 
and which produced such a fine effect immedi¬ 
ately and has ever since been so greatly admired. 
1 1 is the finest and quickest growing Lawn Grass 
ever sent out, and will give the greatest satisfac¬ 
tion. Price, 35c. per qt.; $2.25 per pk., post¬ 
paid. By express, per pk., $1.25; per bushel 
(of 15 lbs.), $4.00. 
Tilton’s Fipery Knife Sharpener. 
The best knife sharpener ever invented, and is offered now for the first time. It is a round, emery covered tool and 
suitable for sharpening all sorts of knives, especially Christie and other peculiar knives, which cannot be ground, or sharp¬ 
ened well on hones. A few strokes of a knife on this sharpener is sufficient to give it a keen edge, no matter how dull it 
may be. For carving knives or for kitchen use it is worth its weight in gold. By mail, postpaid, 2oc. each; 3 for 50c. 
Floral Park Lawn Mower 
The finest Lawn Mower in the market. It 
is a high wheeled mower, and possesses great 
advantages over the low ones. It is built for 
extra good work, and it does it. The extra 
high driving wheels give great leverage and 
remarkable ease in running. It never clogs or 
stops suddenly. The steel cylinder runs at a 
very high speed, enabling it to cut evenly and 
closely even in tall, tough grass. It is as nearly 
noiseless as a mower can be, 
and entirely free from fric¬ 
tion. A child can run it. 
All oil holes and adjustable 
screws are reached from the 
upper side, avoiding all ne¬ 
cessity for turning the ma¬ 
chine over. Size, 14 inch 
1 cut. Price, packed and de¬ 
livered to freight or express 
office, $5.00.
