THE DANIELS NURSERY 
~ Daniels 
HARDY PERENNIALS 
We wish you could see our perennial gardens. Here 
are the plants with which to paint your Spring, Summer 
and Autumn flower pictures. They add the variety to 
your landscape picture that makes it interesting at all 
seasons. 
Our plants are extremely strong—field grown stock, 
produced on specially prepared soils abounding in humus 
and plant food. Under these conditions we have devel- 
oped exceptionally fibrous roots and strong crowns and 
tops—plants far surpassing in strength and vitality those 
ordinarily offered for sale. Daniels’ Perennial Plants are 
preferred by all who have seen or used them. 
Our list of varieties is very long and complete—much 
too long for printing here, comprising over 250 varieties 
We will be glad to mail to anyone interested our 4

hottest and driest part of the summer it is 
a common practice to put an inch or two 
of fine peat on top of the soil as a mulch. 
This keeps the soil benegth cool and moist, 
helps in weed control, is an excellent step 
towards good winter protection, and in the 
spring, when the soil is first worked rather 
deeply, it builds up the organic content of 
the soil and brings all of its attendant 
advantages. 
Some of our perennials are thoroughly 
hardy without any winter protection, but 
for most of them some protection is an 
essential and all of them are greatly bene- 
fited by it. Coarse marsh hay, free from 
weed seeds, is undoubtedly the best winter 
covering material. A mulch of peat or very 
fine, thoroughly rotted manure applied to 
the soil before the coarser covering is put 
on will be highly beneficial. 
TEN SIMPLE RULES FOR 
LANDSCAPE DESIGN 
1. Keep the lawn open (except for trees), 
and group other materials in informal 
arrangement along the borders of the lawn 
areas. 
2. Avoid planting in straight lines, ex- 
cept hedges, boulevard trees, and forma 
plantings. 
3.' Plant according to height, i. e., taller 
plants in rear, lower ones in front. 
4. Choose an assortment of plant mate- 
rial that will provide interest at all times, 
with flowering shrubs of different seasons, 
colorful touches of bright foliage, varyin 
forms and heights, and berries or colore 
bark for winter effect. 
5. Be sure to use enough evergreens to 
provide year round interest. It is desirable
