No. 8538. PENNISETUM RUPPELIANUII. This new orna- 
mental grass during last summer proved itself a remarkably 
valuable addition to our flower gardens, especially for sub-tropical 
bedding and foliage effects. The foliage is long and slender, 
gracefully recurved and glossy deep-green in color. If sown in 
March in heat, the plants should bloom by the middle of July, 
and the silvery plumes tinted with violet-purple waving in the 
sunlight, are exquisitely beautiful. Pkt., .25.
