The Illustrated Guide for Amateur Gardeners 
HARDY PERENNIAL FLOWERING PLANTS. 
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 good collection, a charming 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.
