Crimson Fountain Grass (Pennisetum). 



PENNISETUM (Fountain Grass). 



Macrophyllum Atrosanguineum {Crimson Fountain Grass). This 

 new plant from New Guinea is a most valuable addition not only to our 

 list 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. By an occasional cutting back the plants can be kept if 

 desired at a height of 2 to 3 feet. Interspersed with other ornamental 

 grasses, tliis new Pennisetum will add a life and color hitherto unob- 

 tainable, wliile 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 15th. 15 cts. 

 each; $1.50 per doz.; $10.00 per 100. 



Rueppelianum [Purple Fountain Grass). A beautiful annual variety, 

 growing about 3 feet high, producing long, graceful green foliage and 

 cylindrical-purplish plumes. Like the Crimson Fountain Grass, this 

 variety is also excellent as a border to a bed of Cannas, Caladiums, etc., 

 etc. Young plants, ready in May, 10 cts. each ; $1.00 per doz.; $fi 00 

 per 100. 



Try a bed of Cannas bordered with Pennisetum, an ideal combination.
