Daniels’ Choice Florists’ Flower Seeds. 
In th ® rearing of Florists’ Flowers from seed the first essential point is to secure carefully 
ybridised seed saved from the finest flowers of the finest kinds, the chances of success in raising 
some really good varieties being vastly greater from a few plants from seed of the choicest quality 
than from a large number raised from seed of an inferior description.

From Mr. W. H. CL UTTER BUCK, CSlouontw. 
"Two years nRo. with other Seeds, I had ft packet of your Choice Alpine Auricula. 
1 mn highly delighted with the result, one of the plants strikes mo as being very beautiful, 
never having seen one like it before, 
much admired." 
I can assure you eaoli plant is n 
n, and they have been 
Antirrhinums. 
These brilliant and free-flowering hardy border plants have been 
highly improved during the past few years, and should be found in 
every garden. Treated as half-hardy annuals they bloom freely the 
first year from seed, and afford a valuable display during the Summer 
and Autumn months. Many of the varieties are very beautiful. The 
colours vary from intense crimson to carmine, rose, primrose, yellow, 
pure white, &c. Some of the kinds have conspicuous white-throated 
flowers, which make them very attractive, whilst the flowers of some 
are handsomely striped. The Tom Thumb varieties are only about six 
inches in height when fully grown, and are very pretty for dry rockeries, 
&c. Sow in March in light rich soil, and place in a gentle heat; or sow 
in April under a hand-light, prick out to strengthen, and plant out soon 
as large enough. These will flower the first year from seed, aud furnish 
a fine display of bloom during Summer and Autumn.

Balsams, 
Daniels’ Camellia-flowered. 
We have much pleasure in again offering our mag- 
nificent strain of these superb Balsams, the seed of 
which has been carefully grown and selected under 
glass during the past season, and which we have no 
hesitation in saying, will be found of an unsurpassably 
fine quality, our Balsams being noted for their large 
size, perfect doubleness and symmetry of form, with 
the most brilliantly striking and exquisitely delicate 
and beautiful colouring. Have been awarded numerous 
First Prizes.
