E PAMPAS GRA 



11 Gynerium Argenteum." 



UCOMBE, PINCE, and Co. having now f or sale 



the finest stock of flowering plants in this country of th* 

 above, are enabled to offer their well established plants to bioS 

 this autumn at the following prices :— 



Fiae specimens with two flower stems ... 21s. Od. each. 



Ditto with one ditto 10a. 6d. 



Smaller plants to bloom next year 7s. 6d. 



L., P., & Co. have also healthy seedlings at 30s. per dozen, 

 which will be ready in October, which, however, they deem it 

 right to say will most probably not bloom for two years. To such 

 parties as wish at once to see the plant in its beauty, L., P^&Co. 

 would strongly recommend the larger sizes, as they are much 

 better and cheaper. 



Few plants are more ornamental than this Gigantic Gri* 

 the leaves (which are more than 7 feet in length, curving grac*. 

 fully outwards) grow in large tussocks, thereby producing a very 

 fine effect, and from the midst of these numerous flower steos 

 arise to the height of from 6 to 8 feet, surmounted by elegant 

 panicles of inflorescence nearly 3 feet long, resembling beautiful 

 waving plumes of silvery feathers. It is perfectly hardy, and u 

 also easy of cultivation. A grand specimen of this noble plant 

 is now in the Exeter Nursery, pushing up nearly twenty Urge 

 flower stems and numerous small ones, and will continue to be an 

 object of great attraction for a considerable time.
