GRASSES (Ornamental.) 
Nearly all the Ornamental Grasses are very showy and 
beautiful, and when dried and tastefully arranged in con- 
nection with the Everlasting Flowers, make exceedingly 
attractive winter bouquets. They are mostly annuals, 
and those which are not, with the exception of Pampas 
Grass, flower the first year. Sow in the spring, in a tem- 
perature of about 60 degrees, in shallow boxes, in light 
soil, the surface of which should be level. Press the seed 
with a smooth board into the soil, and sift on soil enough 
merely to cover the seed. When seedlings are fit to handle, 
transplant into similar boxes, and plant out in May. Sow 
seed also in open ground in May. 
Agrostis Nebulosa. Exceedingly graceful and beauti- 
ful; one of the most elegant of Ornamental Grasses.

HOLLYHOCK. 
Sow from June to August, in light soil. Thin out the seed- 
lings sufficiently early to allow individual development 
of growth. In October plant out where to bloom. The 
plants should have a mulching of leaves or litter for win- 
ter protection, or should be planted in cold frames for 
early flowering. In our climate it is best to sow every 
season, treating the plant as a biennial. :
