TnK (iRAssKs OF Tknnksskk. 7 



There are many s])ecies which have special value in manufac- 

 tures, arts, and medicine. A few yield valuaVjle perfumes, and 

 some are cultivated for ornament. A mere enumeration of the 

 many and various uses of the bamboos to the natives of Southern 

 and Eastern Asia would fill many pages. Our space does not ad- 

 mit a more detailed account of the uses of j^^rasses, and we can only 

 add here that in all civilized countries continued prosperity and 

 increase of wealth appears to be largely dependent upon the at- 

 tention given to these plants.
