PAULLINIA. 
Thalictrifolia. A very pretty climbing plant for the conservatory or 
window, with finely divided fern-like foliage. 25 cts. each. 
PENNISETUM (rountain Grass). 
Macrophyllum Atrosanguineum (Crimson Fountain Crass). 
This new plant from New Guinea is a most valuabte addition not only to 
our last of ornamental grasses, but to bedding plants. Its habit of growth 
is strong and vigorous, yet most elegant and graceful; the foliage, which 
is gracefully recurved, is of a pleasing dark metallic, coppery-bronze, 
which far surpasses in richness the finest of the bronze-leaved Cannas— 
a veritable Crimson Fountain. When grown as a specimen in the 
border or on the lawn, it attains a height of about 4 feet, the ends of the 
shoots being terminated by tawny crimson plumes, 10 to 12 inches long. 
Interspersed with other ornamental grasses, this new Pennisetum adds 
life and color hitherto unobtainable, while as a border to a bed of 
Cannas or Caladium Esculentum it stands in a class by itself. The 
plants, when sent out in early spring, do not 
show their rich coloring, which, however, 
quickly develops when planted in the 
open bed or border. Ready April 
loth. 15 cts. each; $1.50 per doz.;
