 matic conditions. This novelty comes from a celebrated French

 flower heads are borne on gracefully recurving stems well above the 

 foliage. One of the most valuable hardy grasses, either for use in 

 beds, mixed borders or as specimens. Easily grown from seed, 

 making nice plants the first year. 15 cts. per pkt.; 2 pkts., 25 cts.

 double white flowers in much-branched panicles, which, when cut, 

 can be used to great advantage with other flowers or by themselves, 

 cS >hey retain their beauty for months. It is also a most desirable
