Hardy Perennial Flowering Plants. 
( See Coloured Plate.) 
We have a fine collection of these popular, interesting, and beautiful plants, which are daily coming 
more and more into favour with the Gardening Public. All the varieties are perennial, extremely hardy, 
and many of them produce flowers of the most exquisite beauty, which are very valuable for cutting, 
whilst the dwarfer growing sorts are admirably suited for rockeries, or edgings. No special soil or 
position is necessary, as with but very few exceptions, they will thrive almost anywhere, and with a 
moderate collection, a oharming variety and succession of bloom may be had throughout the Spring and 
Summer. The plants we offer are all grown in pots, and may be removed at any time or season. 
Daniels’ Special Collections of Hardy Flowering Plants. 
We offer in the following collections a very choice selection of the above, specially arranged for a 
brilliant and varied display of colour, and a long continuance of bloom in the open garden.
