"T I LLUSTRATED GUIDE FOR AMATEUR GARDENERS . " DANIELS BROTHERS , NORWICH . We have looked over , and we may say , studied this very interesting catalogue , of an enterprising firm , with very srrcat p leasure . It is alike suggestive and satisfactory , in the hig hest degree , clearly arranged , and full of most interesting information to the amateur and the professional

gardener . We have been informed on reliable authority , that a recent order given to the firm has been most thoroug hly executed , and the quality of the shipment made has been of the highest excellence . Under these circumstances , without going into details , which is impossible in our crowded columns , we can fairly recommend die circular of Messrs . Daniels to the notice of all who

possess gardens , knowing that they will have their orders admirably executed , and have full value for their money , expended in respect of that very tempting outlay for trees and flowers , annuals and plants , shrubs and evergreens , pyramids and standards , flower garden and kitchen garden accessories , which so commends itself to those who know anything of the pleasure and happiness of a garden .
