TREE PZAONIES. 
This plant, instead of dying down to the ground every 
winter, like the herbaceous variety, grows into a hard- 
wooded shrub. The flowers are the same in form as the 
common variety, but of a light pink or blush color. As 
the plants attain age they make very showy bushes and 
are very desirable for planting among shrubbery. 
Strong plants, 75 ets. each ; $7.50 per doz. 
Hardy Grasses, 
ARUNDO. 
Donax. A magnificent hardy grass, growing to a height 
of 15 feet, and forming dense clumps. It should be 
left undisturbed, as it increases in vigor and attractive- 
ness from year to year. 25 ets. to $1.00 each. 
Donax Variegata. A hardy, broad-leaved, variegated 
bamboo ; foliage creamy white and green, retaining its 
bright, flesh color until frost; growing 6 to 8 feet high, 
of graceful form and fine habit.

ERIANTHUS RAVENNEZ. 
A perfectly hardy Ornamental Grass, which grows from 
9 to 12 feet high, frequently throwing up from 30 to 50 
flower spikes. It resembles the Pampas Grass, but blooms 
much more abundantly, and makes a desirable plant for 
the decoration of lawns. 
30 ets. each. Clumps 75 ets. each. 
EULALIA JAPONICA VARIEGATA. 
A very graceful, tall, ornamental grass from Japan. Its 
long, narrow Jeaf-blades are striped green, white, and often 
pink or yellow. It throws up stalks from 4 to 6 feet in 
height, terminated with a cluster of flower spikes; the 
flowers are surrounded by long silky threads, which, when 
fully ripe, expand like an ostrich feather when curled. 
These dry flowers are valuable as parlor ornaments, as they 
retain their beauty for a long time. : 
25 cts. each ; $2.50 per doz, Clumps 75 cts. each. 
EULALIA JAPONICA ZEBRINA. 
This variety resembles Japonica in hardiness, growth 
and bloom. The long blades are marked with broad yel- 
low bands across the leaf instead of longitudinally. Its 
markings are unlike any other grass. It makes a very 
attractive specimen plant for the lawn, and will not fail to 
attract attention. 
25 ets. each ; $2.50 per doz. Clumps $1.00 each. 
EULALIA GRACILLIMA UNIVITTATA. 
This is a grand addition to the Ornamental Grasses ; it is 
of a more compact habit than the Japanese varieties, with 
very narrow foliage, which is of a bright green color with 
a silvery white midrib, similar to Draceena Indivisa; its 
general habit and appearance is very graceful, and we have 
no doubt that it will become a general favorite. 
50 cts. each ; $5.C0 per doz. 

EvuLaria JAPONICA ZEBRINA. 
PAMPAS GRASS (Gynerium Argenteum). 
One of the most effective of the Ornamental Grasses. 
Tts silvery plumes are produced on stems 8 to 10 feet high.

from year to year.if protected. Requiresa rich and deep soil. 
The plumes, when cut before they fully expand, and dried 

in the shade, make handsome winter decorations.
