PAMPAS GRASS, (Gynerium Argeuteimi.) 



A stately species of grass from South America, growing six 

 feet in height, with plumes of yellowish white, one to two 

 feet in length; it looks best as a single specimen. As it is not 

 quite hardy north, it requires protection of eight or ten inches 

 of leaves around the roots, or it can be removed to the cellar 

 and replanted in spring. 



The plants we offer this season are all certain to flower— 

 the "flower" is the "California Pampas Plume," now so 

 much used when dry for decorative purposes.
