HARDY PERENNIAL PLANTS- {1 
_ Hardy Ornamental Grasses 
The ornamental grasses can be used with telling effect 
in borders, large beds, or by the margin of ponds and 
lakes. They are often used with small shrubs and medi- 
um-sized trees in wide borders. The Eulalias, planted 
singly on lawns where the soil is deep and rich, take care 
of themselves, and grow rapidly into large specimens. In 
large, round beds, with ornamental Grasses as the prin- 
cipal feature, the effect is heightened by the addition of 
such plants as Cannas or dwarfer flowering plants near 
the margin.
