PETER HENDERSON & CO. S CATALOGUE OF SEEDS. 



Bromus Brizaeformis. 



Stipa Pennata. 



f EARLY all the Ornamental Grasses are very showy and beautiful, and when dried and taste- 

 fully arranged in connection 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. 



The plants should be transplanted or thinned out sufficiently to afford space for the growth 

 of each, as soon as they can be handled; this will allow them to develop their true character.
