ORNAMENTAL GRASSES 
The ornamental Grasses serve the double purpose of rendering the 
mixed flower-bed or border attractive during the summer and for the use 
of the spikes or panicles in a dried state in winter bouquets. For large 
beds or groups on lawns nothing gives a finer effect, and they are now 
largely used in prominent positions in many of the finest public parks, etc.
