WM. ELLIOTT & SONS’ GENERAL CATALOGUE FOR 1892. 13 
GRASSES. 
(ORNAMENTAL.) 
The Ornamental Grasses are valuable for decorative 
purposes when dried and arranged in connection 
with the Everlasting Flowers for winter bouquets, 
etc. Some are curious-looking plants, others exceed- 
ingly graceful; some neat and compact, others stately 
and majestic. The more slender and graceful varie- 
ties are very decorative. .
