EULALIA JAPOmQA VAR. 



Incorrectly given in some catalogues as " Imperata Japonica." It is an entirely new 

 and distinct ornamental grass, of easy culture, and perfectly hardy. It has long narrow 

 leaves striped white and green, throwing up stalks fr-un four to six feet in height, termi- 

 nated with a cluster of flower spikes on which the individual flowers are arranged; the 

 flowers are surrounded by long silky threads, which, when fully ripe or when placed in 

 a warm room expand, giving the whole head a most graceful and beautiful appearance, 

 not unlike that of an ostrich feather when curled. These dry flowers will be valuable as 

 parlor ornaments, as they retain their beauty for a long time. See cut. * 



Price $1 each; 9 per dozen.
